Vodafone Fiji Under 20 rugby coach Koli Sewabu says any result other than winning the Junior World Trophy will be deemed a failure.

Fiji is bidding to end a three year exile from the top tier of junior men's rugby, since being relegated from the Junior World Championship in 2014.

Eight teams are vying for one promotion place in Uruguay, with Sewabu citing Japan and the host nation as two of their biggest threats.

Fiji have again been drawn in the same pool as Uruguay for the World Rugby Under 20 Trophy competition.

Six Under 20 players played for the Fiji Warriors against Tonga A last Friday and were outstanding.

The Under 20s squad left Fiji on Wednesday after three weeks in camp, and will take on Hong Kong in their first match next week.
