The Fiji Rugby Union is disappointed and will not condone Fiji Rugby international players who do not follow the self-isolation rule when they arrive in the country.
This follows the announcement that two Fiji Rugby international players who recently returned to Fiji failed to follow lawful instructions regarding self-isolation to protect other Fijians who are at risk of catching COVID-19.
CEO John O'Connor says they strongly condemn the behaviour of these two players and their disregard for lawful instructions to self-isolate themselves.
He says such irresponsible behavior is unacceptable, and they support the actions of the Police in arresting these two players and any further action taken against them.
He adds they will take appropriate disciplinary actions against them including reporting this highly irresponsible behaviour to their clubs and World Rugby.
The CEO further extends his gratitude on behalf of Fiji Rugby to all the Affiliate Unions and the staff, rugby players, match officials, administrators and supporters for their support in these difficult times and urged the Rugby family to stay home, be safe and comply with all instructions given by Government.
