Update: 3:31PM THERE is a four-way fight for the likely two striking positions in the Fiji under-20 football team.

Ba's Jone Salauneune, who had a playing stint in New Zealand last year, is the big name upfront but he is feeling a nudge on his shoulders from Nadi duo Napolioni Qasevakatini, Rusiate Matirerega and Nadroga's Tomasi Tuicakau.

National team director Tarunesh Reddy said the competition in the team for the various positions was a good sign.

Fiji faces Vanuatu in the opening match of the Oceania U20 play-offs at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Thursday.
