Fiji Sun Continues Enduring Partnership
The Fiji Sun yesterday presented $40,000 to the Republic of Fiji Military Forces to help their Ratu Sukuna Bowl and International Defence Rugby Championship defences.
Fiji Sun Managing Editor Digital Rosi Doviverata presented the cheque on behalf of Publisher/CEO Peter Lomas and said:
“It is an enduring partnership that has been fully honoured by the RFMF.”
Commander Fiji Navy Captain (Navy) Humphrey Tawake, speaking on behalf of the RFMF, thanked the Fiji Sun for their continuous assistance for RFMF rugby.
He said: “The Fiji Sun has supported us during difficult times, they have supported us when we needed help and they have supported us when we needed a genuine partner.”
Captain (Navy) Tawake said as the defending champion, they would work extra hard to keep the Ratu Sukuna Bowl at the Queen Elizabeth Barracks in the eagerly awaited annual match with Police on November 23 at the ANZ Stadium.
The RFMF will also defend the International Defence Rugby Championship in Japan next year. They won this in 2015 in England, beating the British Army 30-10 in the final.
Military teams taking part in this include from such rugby powers as New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, France and the British.
