Preparation of Fiji’s participation in Australia’s National Rugby Championship was one of the things that was discussed in the Fiji Rugby Union Annual General Meeting earlier this afternoon.
This was highlighted by the Fiji Rugby Union CEO John O’Connor, who also acknowledged having the success of having all the affiliate members that enabled an opportunity to present annual reports from 2016.
O’Connor says that performances of the National teams were highlighted as both the Flying Fijians coach and the Vodafone Fiji 7's team were present.
He adds that the financial reports were also presented and for the first time in a long time FRU were able to achieve a clean and transparent audit report and were able to address most of the issues that have been prevalent in the FRU.
O’Connor also highlighted that they were able to turn around the loss performance from last year into a more positive performance as Fiji prepares for the next two sevens legs and the 5 international tests for the Flying Fijians.
He adds that Fiji is looking forward to Fiji performing for the first time in the NRC as this will provide opportunities for local players to be contracted and this was also an agenda that was thoroughly discussed in the AGM.
O’Connor says that as FRU finalizes Fiji’s participation in the NRC they also have further meeting next month with the Australian Rugby Union.
