The conclusion of the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) Annual General Meeting (AGM) yesterday marked the formal handover of governance and operational responsibilities to the seven newly elected board members.

The newly elected FRU Board members include Mosese Naivalu – Legal Director, John Sanday – Commercial Director, Tevita Tuiloa – Commercial Director, Cathy Wong – Women’s Director, Koli Sewabu – Rugby Director, Conway Beg – Rugby Director.

The FRU Trustees, including Peter Mazey, Jenny Setto, Sikeli Tuinamuana, Alipate Naiorosui, and Mosese Naivalu, expressed their pride in the progress made during their tenure and passed the baton to the new leadership team.

Under their transformative leadership, significant strides were made in addressing past issues, listening to stakeholders, and laying a solid foundation for the future of Fiji rugby.

Fiji Rugby Union interim chair Peter Mazey says to achieve the goals set, they had to review, investigate and address issues of the past to enable them to move to a new and bright future.

“We have been proactive by listening not just to our players, but to our Unions, our stakeholders to our politicians and to our critics.”

“The hard work of all involved has laid the groundwork for a bright future for Fiji Rugby, and we are excited to see what the new board will bring to the table.

“The passion for rugby in Fiji is unmatched, and we are confident that the sport will continue to thrive at all levels.”

As the FRU enters this new phase, there is a sense of commitment throughout the organization to building a legacy that future generations of Fijian rugby players and fans can be proud of.
