Bolabiu appointed to ref for World Sevens Series

Referee James Bolabiu continues to fly the flag for Fiji on the international scene with his appointment earlier this month by the International Rugby Board to five tournaments in the 2011-12 HSBC World Sevens Series.

Bolabiu’s appointment comes after a long break from the international scene where he was using his talents to focus on the game locally.

While officiating locally can often be a rigorous test for any young referee, Bolabiu believes the challenge of officiating internationally is always the pinnacle for any referee.
