England U20 Form

England won the U20 Six Nations earlier this year and will be confident of their chances to progress to the next round at the top of their pool. However, their crucial game will be next Tuesday when they face the hosts.

In a strong pool, England did well in their opener to secure a 40-21 victory over Argentina. The Argentines are not walkover and England largely dominated that game.

This fixture will be about putting out a performance against a weak Fiji side.

England will most likely make wholesale changes to the side that beat Argentina. They also need to rest key players for their game next Tuesday.

Fiji U20 Form

Fiji gets very little international rugby exposure at U20 level so it is understandable that they struggle at this level. A few players have had a small taste of Super Rugby, but that isn’t really enough preparation.

Against South Africa at the weekend, Fiji showed glimpses of how fluent they can be, but their struggles at set piece continue. They lost the game 57-7.
