Fiji schoolboys beat New Zealand for first time

[beige]

Fiji Under 18s claimed an historic first victory over their New Zealand rivals on Friday night.

The Fiji schoolboys, who defeated the New South Wales Country Under 18s 74-10 in the first game of their Australia tour on Tuesday, edged out the Kiwis 22-20 thanks largely to first half tries from Seveci Nakailagi and Rupeni Vakasilimi with Sakiusa Boletawa and Viliame Kikau adding further scores after the break - the latter converted by Manoa Nakolilevu to give his side the win.

I shudder at the thought; but what a bloody good point! Let's see the IRB do something about that and keep these guys in the Fijian test team.

And before I cop a shellacking, the question extends to England, France, Italy, Japan or Australia in the next five years, too. (And anybody else for that matter) Just to be diplomatic, that's all.

Well done Fiji Schools, that's a big scalp for their boys!!

As too the poaching argument, have any of you clowns traveled to New Zealand in the past 40 years? I'll answer that for you. NO!!
