Unchanged squad for Match vs England: U20

Fijian Under-20 Head Coach Ifereimi Rawaqa has maintained the same run on team which displayed a gallant performance against the Wallabies losing 46-37 in the first pool match of the World Rugby Junior Championship. Moses McGoon, Ratu Kavaia Tagivetaua and Breyton Legge will again provide the power up-front while skipper Motikiai Murray will lead the forward pack against England on Friday. Philip Baselala and Isaiah Ravula will control the exciting pack of backline who is expected to again give their best shot. On the bench, Joeli Nainoca is covering for the hooker. Sitiveni Tamani is the loosehead cover and Emosi Natubailagi is the replacement tighthead prop. 

Semi Tokitani and Sakenasa Nalasi are expected to continue the momentum in the forwards while Zach Kama will come off the bench as replacement halfback, while Frank Ralogaivau and Isikeli Basiyalo will cover the backline. Head Coach Ifereimi Rawaqa said “They have had a good review of the game against the Junior Wallabies and have rectified their areas which needed improvements. He said “We know we had the game in our hand but lost it in the final quarter and that’s something we are working towards and I believe we are ready for some good rugby against England”

The side will take on England who ended with a 34-all draw against Ireland.  

Fiji will face England at 5am on Friday at Danie Craven Stadium.
