Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro has refuted rumors regarding the suspension of the upcoming Vodafone Deans and Weet-Bix Raluve secondary school rugby competitions, reaffirming that the matches will proceed as scheduled. Reports indicating that he had halted the competitions were dismissed by Radrodro as false and based on misinformation.
He clarified that the competitions had been officially approved on the 5th of the previous month and that the current meeting’s agenda was not about suspension, but rather to finalize arrangements ahead of the anticipated matches this Saturday.
This clarification aims to eliminate confusion that arose earlier this week, allowing participating schools to refocus on their preparations for one of Fiji’s most awaited sporting events. The minister’s assurances can help restore confidence among schools and students engaged in the rugby season.
There have been prior concerns about the structural management of the competitions, prompting Radrodro to emphasize the importance of student welfare in his discussions with various stakeholders. The ongoing efforts aim to ensure safety, proper governance, and an enjoyable experience for all participants in the future.
With the games officially set to take place, the rugby community is filled with excitement, showcasing the potential and passion of Fiji’s young athletes on the rugby field.
