The Vodafone Fiji Under 20 side has booked a 9th-place playoff showdown with Argentina in the Junior World Rugby Championship after recording an impressive 41-26 win over Italy yesterday in their 9th place semi final clash.

Fiji’s Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula again showed and proved why he is the X-factor that the Flying Fijians need to consider for the future after scoring 16 points through his boots and setting up a few tries in the impressive win.

The Baby Flying Fijians scored 5 tries through Mesake Vocevoce, Isikeli Basiyalo, Sireli Masiwini, Sakenasa Nalasi, and Pateresio Finau with Ravula adding 5 conversions and 2 penalty kicks at goal.

Fiji will play Argentina at 12.30am Saturday.
