This was confirmed to Fijivillage by IRB representative Beth Cotter who was observing the Fiji Water Centennial Oceania and International 7s.

Cotter raised concern on the poor turnout for the two day tournament and one of the important issues she raised was the welfare of the players.
Cotter added apart from this there are other things that needs to be considered.
Cotter said a lot improvement should also be done on the facilities provided to the players.
