A number of prominent figures are competing for positions on the newly formed management board of the Fiji Rugby Union. Candidates were put forward by Provincial Unions and underwent a vetting process by a nominations committee before being shortlisted.
This selection process is a significant step in implementing the new constitution aimed at advancing the Fiji Rugby Union. During the upcoming Annual General Meeting in Suva, representatives from the Provincial Unions will elect suitable candidates for key positions within the management board.
The positions available include Commercial Director, Women Director, Rugby Director, Legal Director, and Finance Director. Among those shortlisted are notable personalities such as Mark Evans, the CEO of Fijian Drua, former Flying Fijians head coach Ilivasi Tabua, World Rugby trainer Koli Sewabu, finance expert John Sanday, banker Tony Ram, media specialist Stanley Simpson, distinguished lawyer Isireli Fa, and Lajipa Naulivou, the first captain of Fijiana.
This initiative not only brings experienced professionals into the governance of rugby in Fiji but also aims to pave the way for a more structured and effective management system that could greatly benefit the sport. As these individuals bring their diverse backgrounds and expertise to the table, there is hope that the Fiji Rugby Union will continue to grow and succeed on both national and international stages.
Overall, this is an exciting time for rugby in Fiji, as these developments signify a commitment to elevating the sport and enhancing its governance.
