Rugby competitions to resume once clearance has been given by the govt - O’Connor

Fiji Rugby Union CEO John O'Connor says they will decide for rugby competitions to resume when the government gives them the green light.

He says they understand that teams have prepared well for this year's competitions but the safety of all is paramount.

The Skipper Cup and Inkk Farebrother Challenge competition began this month with Suva being the defending Skipper Cup champions and Naitasiri the defending Farebrother champions.

Police Blue are the Fiji Rugby Super 7s Series champions with one tournament left to go, however, the new date and venue will be announced once clearance has been given by the government.

The Prime Minister had announced that over the next 14 days, major events, including the Coca-Cola Games, university graduations and rugby matches, will have to be cancelled.
