Match officials play a vital role in domestic competitions like the Fun Flavour Super Sevens Series.

Fiji Rugby Union Chief Executive, John O’Connor says their contribution to the sport has not gone unnoticed, now Rooster Chicken has come on board to be the major sponsor of the match officials for the next three years.

O’Connor says through the Roosters’ support, they’ll be able to assist in the development of match officials from the grassroots and create pathways throughout various competitions.

Through this partnership, FRU will provide match officials with two pairs of branded on-field kits which the match officials will use during all domestic competitions.

Rooster Poultry General Manager Stanley Raniga says it’s important that Fiji Rugby has the necessary resources to be able to support local teams and the entire country on the national and international stage.

The match officials who will take part in the Fun Flavour Super 7s Series will wear their new Rooster Chicken sponsored kit during the three-day tournament at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka from Thursday.
