Australia is heavily favored to secure a dominant victory over Fiji in their World Rugby U20 Championship Pool A match. Coming off a record-breaking 90-22 win against Spain and with a history of five consecutive wins over Fiji, Australia shows strong form. Fiji struggled in their opener against France, losing 45-15. With a predicted -24.5 handicap in favor of Australia, expectations are high for another big win. Team news confirms both squads' lineups, highlighting Australia’s depth and attacking prowess.

Australia vs Fiji U20 Predictions


Australia are strong favourites after an excellent run of results. My best bet is Australia to cover -24.5 handicap.

  • Australia has won the last 5 matches against Fiji.
  • Australia beat Spain 90-22 in their opening match.
  • Australia placed 5th in last year's competition.
  • Australia has won 7 of the last 11 matches.
  • Fiji lost 45-15 to France in their opening match.

Head to Head


Australia has won the last 5 matches against Fiji.

Australia U20 Form


Australia defeated Spain with a historic 90-22 scoreline in their opening match at the AIA Arena. Australia ran in 14 tries to set a new record for their highest points tally in tournament history.

Australia did not enjoy much success at this year's U20 Rugby Championship, finishing in last place. They lost 34-29 to New Zealand and 56-17 to South Africa before beating Argentina 32-30. 

Australia suffered a 73-17 defeat to South Africa, overcame Scotland 34-24, and lost 36-33 to England during the pool stage of the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship. They then beat Italy in the fifth-place semi-final before defeating England 68-40 to finish fifth overall.

Fiji U20 Form


Fiji were defeated 45-15 in their opening match by a dominant French side who ran in five tries in the first half to build a massive 33-0 lead at half-time.

Tries were scored by Matheo Frisach, Romeo Bonnard Martin, Lucas Andjisseramatchi and Gabin Garault, who scored a hat-trick.

Fiji fought back with tries from Mosese Tabuakoto and Epeli Roseruvakula, alongside a penalty try and a conversion from Tevita Ledua.

Fiji has won six of the last eight matches, with the two losses coming against England and France.
