Oceania

But already three of the smallest nation’s in world football have seen their dreams ended, while for the remainder the coming year provides an opportunity to dream big about the prospects for glory. The likes of continental champions Tahiti and 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa participants New Zealand are turning their attention to their mid-year matches, but for now the spotlight has been elsewhere.

Fiji led 5-3 at the break.

Fiji has now qualified for the World Rugby Trophy challenge in Zimbabwe next year.

Meanwhile in another match played today, Papua New Guinea thrashed Vanuatu 80-7.      

Both teams come into the final on the back of big wins over Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, although PNG did make Tonga work hard in a close fought first half, before the game got away from them in the second period.

The 2015 Oceania Rugby Junior Trophy will be hosted by the Fiji Rugby Union at ANZ Stadium, Suva between 27 November and 5 December, 2015.

This was announced by FRU CEO Radrodro Tabualevu at a Press Conference on Friday.

“We are pleased to announce that the Fiji Rugby Union will host the 2015 Oceania Rugby Junior Trophy.”

“There are four teams that will play in the tournament, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Vodafone Fiji U20.”
