The Hong Kong mini-rugby clubs gathered at Kings Park last Sunday to donate rugby kits to Fiji.

These rugby kits were received by former Vodafone Fijian 7s head coach Ben Ryan who acknowledged the mini teams for their kind contribution.

“Thanks for all of the HK Mini teams @HongKongRugby donating kit to Fiji. #veilomani #rugbylove,” Ryan tweeted. The Hong Kong Mini Rugby Football Union (HKMRFU) was established in the 1980s and has since grown to include 20 active clubs with over 4600 children under the age of 12. Starting at the age of four, girls and boys can join one of the mini rugby clubs where they will be introduced to the sport in a safe, fun and structured environment.

Fiji Rugby Union chief executive officer John O’Connor is still out of the country and when contacted said that he was unaware of the donation.

“Once I get back to Fiji then I will be able to comment,” O’Connor said.
