Pritchard, who was a key member in the Reds\u2019 Super Rugby campaign, added to the highlight reel with a solo effort in the 23rd minute to dummy past his defender and beat two more for the five pointer.<\/p>\n
He finished his afternoon with a game-high 12 tackle busts on six remarkable carries during a 59-minute stint.<\/p>\n
It helped the Aussies build a comprehensive 36-3 advantage at the break, and they were rarely troubled.<\/p>\n
Farr-Jones was strong on the wing, answering a second-half try by the Fijians with his second to secure the win.<\/p>\n
It comes after the nephew of legendary Wallaby Nick missed the opener due to illness.<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t the only second generation star to deliver as Toby Brial, son of former Walkaby Michael, got in on the fun with a double.<\/p>\n
The brother of Reds back-rower Toby got the first and last of the half, making good use of his elevation to the tight five.<\/p>\n
The Aussies found themselves down to 14 on three occasions, at one stage reduced to 13, after yellows to Jacob Job, Edwin Langi and Charlie Bird.<\/p>\n
However, they managed to hold off the Fijians and punished them when they went down a man as Marshall le Maitre locked up the result with 15 to go.<\/p>\n
Replacement scrumhalf Angus Grover brought up the half-century as Fiji dealt with another yellow card, bringing the total to six for the game.<\/p>\n
It sets up a crucial decider with France next week, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
The French struggled early against Spain, trailing 20-10 before rolling to a 57-32 win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queensland Reds star Treyvon Pritchard has reaffirmed his status as one of the best teenagers in the world…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":774474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,8626,44],"class_list":["post-774473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-u20","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=774473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/774473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/774474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=774473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=774473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=774473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
