Expressing his gratitude towards Mobil for the renewed sponsorship, FRU Administrator Simione Valenitabua said: “It will certainly give us breathing space financially as we progress into the peak of our domestic competition, the upcoming World Rugby Sevens series, and other international competitions, culminating in the 2024 Paris Olympics.”

He expressed hope that the sponsorship would contribute to the ongoing development of Rugby in Fiji at all levels, from grassroots to national and international competitions.
Kumar also took the opportunity to congratulate the Flying Fijians on their recent achievements, which include their highest-ever world ranking, and wished the team the best of luck in the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
