The Fiji Under-19 team defeated hosts, Samoa in the finals of the FORU U-19 Oceania Championship by 20-8, in the game that was played in Apia yesterday.

Fiji earlier lost to Samoa in the first game by 34-22, but turned the tables yesterday after a very comprehensive win.

Team Manager, Viliame Kanatabua said that after the loss in the first game, the boys had a strong talkback session with their coach and believed that contributed to the win.

This is also the first time for Fiji to win the tournament and the boys return back to Fiji today.
