This year s Oceania Rugby Under 20 Trophy has been cancelled because of the ongoing effects of Covid-19.
The Samoa and Tonga Under 20 teams were scheduled to contest the title on 22 May but, following consultation with Lakapi Samoa and Tonga Rugby Union, Oceania Rugby said the game will not go ahead.

Competitions Manger, Wayne Schuster, said the ongoing travel restrictions, advice from health authorities and the continued challenge in hosting tournaments in the Covid-19 landscape were the main factors in their decision. Unfortunately rescheduling or postponing this year s event would also not be realistic under the current circumstances.
