Ex-Red Devils junior Wilson again started in the No.6 jersey as he has done all tournament, and scored Australia's opening try in their 34-13 dismantling of Argentina at Rosario on Thursday morning.
Abra, who played colts for Pirates, has been used off the bench all tournament.
The Junior Wallabies play reigning under-20 world champions France in Sunday morning's final.
Pirates president Tom Cutcliffe said the club was proud of Abra's achievements since he left the club at a young age to pursue his rugby dreams.
He described as a "great achievement" Abra's involvement with Australia at the world championships.
"Hopefully one day he'll come back to Pirates ... It's always a possibility - you never know," Cutcliffe said.

Against Argentina, Australia played the entire second half with 14 players after halfback Michael McDonald was sent off for a second yellow card.
His high tackle stopped an Argentina try and led to a penalty try and Australia leading 17-13 at halftime.
The Junior Wallabies opened the scoring via a penalty goal to flyhalf Ben Donaldson, before Argentina's Joaquin De La Vega Mendia replied with a penalty goal.
Wilson then finished off an attacking onslaught by the Aussies to score the match's opening try.
The Junior Wallabies would go on to score four tries to one.
Their only loss of the championships was to England in their last pool game, when they had a player sent off early in the clash. They topped Pool B after wins over Italy and Ireland.
Australian coach Jason Gilmore said: "It was a tough effort by the boys today [Tuesday]. To keep Argentina scoreless, apart from the penalty try, shows the character of the group.
"The forward pack again stood up to the challenge, with the backs covering a man down for 50 minutes.
"I'm really proud of the players and staff with the effort they are putting in. But everyone knows we have one more to get."
The kick-off for the semi-final was delayed by more than an hour because of lightning, while the Racecourse Stadium surface sodden due to heavy rain.
It is the second time Australia have qualified for the final.
