FRU to cite RKS for not releasing players for Youth Olympics

The Fiji Rugby Union confirms that it will cite the Ratu Kadavulevu School Rugby Team for not releasing the students to participate in the Youth Olympics Games in China which begins next week.

This follows the outcome of a meeting between FRU Chief Executive Officer Radrodro Tabualevu and RKS Principal Beniamino Tawake.

Beniamino remained steadfast in his stance not to release the five RKS players for the 2014 Youth Olympics.

The five players are team captain Epineri Uluiviti, Filimoni    Nawabalavu, Filipe Nasilasila, Joseva Rauga and speedster Timoci Meya.

The FRU will make submission to the independent IRB sanctioned disciplinary committee to have RKS suspended from the Deans competition for not bringing disrepute to the Fiji U18 7s team to Nanjing and not supporting the development of rugby in Fiji by releasing these players for National Duties.

The team departs for the Youth Olympic Games on Monday.

Meanwhile RKS will face Lelean Memorial School in the under 18 Coke Zero Deans final next Saturday.
