Fiji’s U20 Rugby Stars Shine Bright in Dominant Victory Over Canada

Halfback Adam Khan played a pivotal role in leading the Sportsworld Fiji team to a commanding 56-24 victory over Canada during the Oceania Rugby U20s Challenge held in Nadi. Khan not only scored two tries but also set up three others, showcasing his remarkable skills throughout the match.

Fiji dominated the first half, racking up six converted tries compared to Canada’s solitary score. The momentum shifted quickly in favor of Fiji after Khan scored a try following a strong break by winger Josaia Ralulu. Just minutes later, Fiji’s left winger Waisake Bainibure added the second try, as the Canadians struggled to keep pace with the explosive Fiji side.

Khan’s performance was a standout, spreading his impact across the field. After another Fiji try, he cleverly executed a dummy to break through Canada’s defense, regathering the ball after a chip over the fullback to secure his second try. The midfield pairing of Bogidrau Kikau and Manamanaivalu also contributed significantly, combining effectively to increase Fiji’s scoring output.

The Baby Flying Fijians approached the match confidently following their previous win against Tonga, indicating a wave of momentum and synergy in the team. At halftime, Fiji led 42-7, but Canada responded with improved play after the break, earning two tries of their own. Nonetheless, Fiji maintained control, with replacement winger Emosi Nuku making a crucial break that led to the seventh try by Ralulu.

The upcoming matches hold promise, with Fiji set to face Samoa next, while Canada will go up against Tonga. Live coverage of the tournament is available on FBC Sports, offering fans a chance to support these rising stars in rugby.
