Watch Rugby Pacific Nations Cup 2026 live streams with Canada, hosts Japan and the United States arrived in Japan with hopes to deny Fiji a third straight championship.
The semi-finals took place last Saturday in Higashiosaka, with Japan and Fiji progressing through to the Grand Final on Saturday, September 19. Yuya Hirose scored in just the second minute against the USA and the Brave Blossoms never looked back. They went over for a further eight tries in the game, confining the overwhelmed Team USA to a humbling 63-14 defeat. With home advantage on their side, Eddie Jones's side must now feel well placed to win a first PNC since 2019.
Tell that to the reigning champions, though. The Flying Fijians will still be favorites to lift the trophy for a third time on the trot, as they continue their preparations for a genuine challenge at the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Their semi-final against Canada, however, was a slightly closer call than head coach Mick Byrne will surely have liked. Two second-half tries from Motikai Murray helped put breathing space between his side and the Canucks.
