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.

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.

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.
