Fiji national under-20 rugby union team

Football Codes

The Fiji national under-20 rugby union team, nicknamed the Baby Flying Fijians, is the under-20 representative side of Fiji in rugby union. The age grade exists because the International Rugby Board combined its Under 19 and Under 21 world championships into a single Junior World Championship, and Fiji has played in that tournament and its trophy successor since the first edition in 2008. Its best finish in the top-level championship was sixth place in 2011, and in 2018 it finished first at the World Trophy. Since 2014 the side has also been invited to the Australian Youth Rugby Championships and has taken part in the Oceania Rugby Under 20 Championship in 2018, 2019 and 2022. Players who came through the Fiji under-20 ranks include Nikola Matawalu, Josh Matavesi, Semi Radradra and Samu Kerevi.
