Fiji U20s vs Tonga U20s.

Fiji U20s narrowly defeated Tonga U20s 18 - 13 last weekend in Suva, winning the U20 Oceania Rugby Championship. Tonga were dissallowed a try in the last five minutes of the match after the referee ruled a forward pass. The try would have given Tonga a dramatic victory.

The win means Fiji have qualified to play at the Junior World Trophy tournament in Uruguay next year.

In the first half, Fiji scored two tries and were leading 12 - 0 before Tongan captain Sione Va'eno scored a try before half-time to close the gap to 12 - 7. There were no tries in the second-half, with both teams coverting two penalty goals each. The end score 18 - 13.
