Australia proved too strong for SportsWorld Fiji Under-20, claiming a 53-17 victory in their second Pool D match at the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Kutaisi, Georgia.
Fiji showed flashes of attacking brilliance and refused to back down in a fiercely contested encounter, but costly lapses in discipline and Australia’s clinical finishing saw the Junior Wallabies pull away.
Both teams finished with three yellow cards in a physical contest.
Despite the heavy defeat, the young Fijians continued to battle until the final whistle, displaying determination and resilience against one of the tournament favourites.
Fiji will now regroup and shift their attention to their final pool match as they look to end their World Rugby Under-20 Championship campaign on a winning note.
