Fijians are over the moon after their rugby team pulled off the biggest upset of the Rugby World Cup so far, beating Australia for the first time in 69 years.

Fiji took the lead in the first half, but Australia made a late comeback.

It wasn't enough though, with Fiji holding on to win 22-15, much to the delight of their adoring fans.

RNZ Pacific's Iliesa Tora witnessed the incredible scenes in Saint Etienne.
