Aminiasi Tuimaba was named player of the match, offloading to Vilimoni Botitu for the opening try before scoring two of his own, either side of a penalty try to France.
Fiji coach Gareth Baber dedicated his side's win to the families affected by the terror attacks in Christchurch.
"Yeah it's a fantastic feeling, I'm sure it will sink it over the next two or three days, but I think all of this has been in the backdrop of what's happened in Christchurch," he said.
"Obviously our hearts and our thoughts go out to all those families and this is a dedication to them."
