Majority of the players that have been selected into the Sportsworld Fiji U20 side are from the Vodafone Super Deans Competition and the Fiji Schoolboys team with five overseas based.

This was revealed by Coach Senirusi Seruvakula as they prepare for the upcoming Oceania U20 Rugby Championship.

Seruvakula says the plan is to get these players into the Fiji Water Flying Fijians by the age of 23 or 24.

He says he has been with these players from the Deans competition and also in the recent two games against the Australia Schoolboys.

Seruvakula says the only thing that will rule the players out is injury or indiscipline, because they have got one month to prepare.

He says no one has cemented their spots in the squad yet as they have got seven replacements training also, but they're not in camp.

The Fijian Under-20s will first compete in the Oceania Rugby Under-20 Challenge, scheduled between late February and early March 2025 in Auckland, New Zealand.

During the tournament, Fiji will face Tonga, Samoa, and an Invitational Moana Pasifika side.

Following the Oceania Rugby Challenge, the same group of players will then participate in the Super Rugby Under-20 Competition which is scheduled for 15th to 22nd March.
