BP National 7s Postponed Due To Bad Weather

The Fiji Rugby Union has announced this afternoon its decision to postpone the BP Lautoka 7s scheduled for this Saturday at Lautoka's Churchill Park.

Fiji Rugby Union Operations Manager, Vilikesa Rinavuaka, in a statement this afternoon states this is in the wake of warnings issued from the Fiji Meteorological Office of strong winds and flash flooding expected throughout the country over the next few days.

Meanwhile, National 7s coach Waisale Serevi has confirmed that the National Team will be taking part in the tournament as the Fiji Barbarians, but, the national reserves will not be playing for their different clubs.

The final BP Oil National 7s tournament will now be played next Saturday 17 January 2009.

However, the Fiji Rugby Union will be forced to look for a new venue to host the tournament as Churchill Park will be unavailable next week due to renovations.
