The coaching staff of the Fijian Under-20 rugby team has been stood down pending the outcome of an investigation into the death of Pasikali Naevo, one of its players.
Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) board chairman Humphrey Tawake confirmed this yesterday.
The FRU is conducting its own investigation into the incident, and the outcome of the investigation will be used to improve the FRU’s existing medical protocols and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
According to Tawake, Pasikali, 18, was not in camp with the team but had attended daily training sessions in Nadi, commuting from home.
