“We definitely open our arms to Fiji Rugby Union to have their officers to make sure they get their Fiji 7s bid table and everything and we ask all our players and fans to sign the petition for the 7s bid.”

FRU Chief Executive John O’Connor says, this is the first time for FRU and Fiji FA to come together as one.

“I think it’s the start of the new journey in terms of the two major supporting bodies working together in terms of such tournaments and assisting each other.”

FRU will submit its bid to World Rugby on Wednesday week.
