South Africa vs Fiji U20 Predictions
South Africa are on home soil and will want to get off to a positive start against a team they should be beating. However, Fiji are improved and I believe the 24-point handicap will be in play here.

- South Africa finished 3rd at the U20 World Rugby Championship in 2023.
- South Africa finished 2nd in the 2024 Rugby Championship.
- Fiji lost all 3 group matches in the 2023 World Rugby U20 Championship.
Head to Head
These two have not played each other over the last two years.
South Africa U20 Form
South Africa U20 have had a decent season and on home ground will hope to challenge for the title. Earlier this season, the Baby Boks finished second in the inaugural Rugby Championship.
Following a draw against New Zealand, South Africa lost to Australia before seeing off Argentina in the final game of the tournament.
Last year, the Baby Boks finished third in the World Rugby U20 Championship, beating England in the third place playoff.
South Africa U20 Injuries & Team News
The Baby Boks have a talented squad of players, many of which have been regulars this season. However, they have changed things up a bit, so predicting a starting lineup will be tough.
Fiji U20 Form
Fiji don’t get to play much international rugby at U20 level, much like their national side.
Last year, Fiji finished bottom of their pool in the U20 World Rugby Championship, losing all three matches to Ireland, England and Australia.
It was one of the toughest draws they could have hoped for, to be fair. Despite that, Fiji only lost by nine points to Australia before losing comfortably to England and by 20 points against Ireland.
In the latter stages, Fiji beat Italy 41-26 in a very impressive performance. They lost to Argentina by 21 points in the 9th place final.
Fiji U20 Injuries & Team News
Fiji have some players that already have Super Rugby experience so they should have a team to complete in some aspects of the game.
Verdict
South Africa should have the quality to win the game, but I don’t believe they will do it by more than 24 points.
Fiji +24
