Fiji Rugby names teams for final U20s trials

March 4, 2022

Fiji Rugby’s Under-20 coaching staff have narrowed down their squad from a pool of 600 hopefuls to name two teams for the East versus West clash in three weeks’ time.

The match schedule for Wednesday 23 March in Suva also serves as the final trial to select a team to play in the Oceania U20 tournament in Australia in July.

“There is an abundance of talent out there and it was not an easy task to pick the best players who will go through a final trial next week,” High-Performance Unit National Team Manager Bill Gadolo said thanking players who were part of the trials in phases one and two.

The following players are to report to the Fiji Rugby High-Performance Gym next Monday 7 March at 8am. Attendance for training is compulsory.
