Ratu Wiliame Katonivere says rugby, especially the Sukuna Bowl brings unity to all Fijians as the historic clash heads to the north for the first time.
Ratu Wiliame says the decision to move the Ratu Sukuna Rugby Challenge to the north was based on a request made by him to the Police and Army, during his tenure as the President of the Republic of Fiji.
The former President says he knew this was the only opportunity to take the national celebration to the North, so that people in the region could witness and share in the significance of the event.
He adds he has always wanted major sporting events, especially the Sukuna Bowl—to be hosted in the north.
Commissioner of Police Rusiate Tudravu acknowledged the request by agreeing to take the main rugby clash to the north for the very first time in the tournament’s 74 year history.
Police will take on Army at 3pm at Subrail Park in Labasa.
