During the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which Sewabu attended as a newly elected director, the organization set strategic goals for enhancing team performances and nurturing talent, demonstrating a commitment to developing rugby in Fiji.
Sewabu has expressed optimism about his role and the future of Fiji Rugby, indicating that the organization is poised to see fruitful developments in the upcoming years.

The new leadership under Sewabu and his fellow board members reflects a collective aspiration to create a legacy for future generations of players and fans. The commitment to fostering a vibrant rugby culture in Fiji shows promise, and the coming months are expected to bring exciting developments in the sport, reinforcing the hope for a bright future.
