Korbin Sims scored a crucial try to help Fiji all but confirm their place in the last eight of the World Cup against New Zealand with a 30-14 win over a spirited Scotland.

Taniela Sadrugu, Henry Raiwalui, Viliame Kikau and Maika Sivo also went over in a five-try success for the Bati at Newcastle’s Kingston Park, with half-back Brandon Wakeham once again pulling the strings.

The result means only an extremely unlikely Italy victory over Australia later this evening combined with an improbable points swing will eliminate Fiji.

Here are the best snaps from this afternoon's clash on Tyneside.
