The Fiji Rugby Union has confirmed that a final decision will be made today as to which team will play Nadroga in the HFC Bank Farebrother Sullivan trophy this weekend.
This comes after the Cakaudrove rugby side protested to the Fiji Rugby Union that Naitasiri North Bulls fielded an unregistered player during their B division final last week.
FRU confirms that both unions have submitted their relevant documents regarding the issue yesterday.
Fijivillage understands that Eloni Dove who featured for Naitasiri North Bulls during the final was a registered player under the Tailevu Rugby Union.
Meanwhile, the Nadroga Rugby Union has stated that it will not feature in this weekend’s Farebrother Sullivan Trophy match if the Fiji Rugby Union does not keep its promise.
This comes after Nadroga demanded FRU to clear the issue in relation to their gate takings starting from the Skipper Cup final before last week’s match against Suva.
An urgent meeting was then called after which the FRU paid $16,000 to the Nadroga Rugby Union for their share of the gate takings of the Skipper Cup final.
Nadroga Rugby Union President Tiko Matawawalu confirmed that FRU promised them that it would pay their share of gate takings from the first Farebrother Challenge match this week.
Matawalu said they have given FRU until midday Friday before they make their final decision.
