“Their competition officially begins during the national finals. So when we have our national quarter-finals then they will compete on a round-robin basis until the main final.”
Fiji Bati Head Coach Brandon Costin says this is exciting news for the sport.
“This is really going to put rugby league on the map in Fiji having both the men and women having a pathway to the Bulikula and the Bati.”

The competition was officially launched today by Assistant Minister for Youth and Sports Alipate Nagata at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
