There will be co-captains leading the charge for the Fijian Drua in 2025 with Tevita Ikanivere and Frank Lomani set to share that honour.
It's semi-finals Sunday at the World Rugby U20 Championship and following last Tuesday’s weather-affected schedule, the hope will be that all six matches will be played to an 80-minute conclusion unlike on match day three when there were just four and a half matches completed due to the heavy rain making pitches unplayable.
Three matches are scheduled for Athlone: Ireland-Australia (2pm local time), France-Wales (4:30pm) and South Africa-England (7pm). Over in Stellenbosch, it’s Argentina-Fiji (2pm), Georgia-Italy (4:30pm) and New Zealand-Spain (7pm).
It will be round three in Athlone on July 9 when that fancied duo – last year’s beaten semi-finalists – go head-to-head in an intriguing group that also contains a dangerous Argentina and a little known Fiji.

The Drua host the undefeated Hurricanes in a round nine matchup that promises plenty of action, given the two sides boast the most and second most defenders beaten in Super Rugby Pacific 2024.
The Fijian Drua have backed two rookie playmakers in their first starting XV of the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season.
Former All Black James Parsons was asked on the Aotearoa Rugby Pod which of the newcomers he is most keen to see perform this season.
Having improved exponentially throughout their debut two seasons in Super Rugby Pacific, the Fijian Drua are aiming high with their squad for 2024.
