Summary Bobo scored from the kickoff, only seconds into the game.


LAUTOKA (AP) - Fiji winger Sireli Bobo marked his return to international rugby after a three-year absence with one of the quickest tries in test history as the hosts beat Japan 22-8 in the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.

 

The 37-year-old Bobo, who plays for Racing Metro in Paris and was making his first appearance for Fiji since June, 2010, scored from the kickoff, only seconds into the game.

 

The try provided the only points of the first half but Fiji built on its 5-0 lead with tries in the second half to lock Apisai Naikatini and winger Aisea Natoga.
