The Fiji Men’s 7s team will now not travel to the Seville 7s next weekend after several players in the team tested positive for COVID during their exit swab yesterday.

Due to the increasing number of cases, the Fiji Rugby Union has confirmed neither the Men’s nor the Fijiana Women’s teams will participate in Spain.

Chief Executive, John O’Connor says only one player from the men’s team had tested positive during the day four tests.

He adds they were very confident of sending the team for the Seville 7s, provided all the other players test negative but the results of the exit swab showed other players and management in both camps are positive.

This has made it impossible for the full team to travel to Spain.

O’Connor says the players and management who initially tested positive have now tested negative.

He adds all the players and management staff who have now tested positive are well and remain asymptomatic.

The Malaga 7s starts at 8pm and you can catch all the actions live on FBC TV.
