The circumstances surrounding the end of Waisale Serevi’s employment with the Fiji Rugby Union have been the subject of much public comment and speculation over the last several months. The FRU has deliberately remained silent on the issue. However, it is clear there is a concerted campaign from many quarters to recruit Serevi back into the FRU whether as a coach or player. The FRU respects those views.

Suggestions have been made that the FRU has a personal grudge against Serevi. These suggestions have no basis.

Serevi resigned as coach of the Digicel Fiji 7s team on 6 July 2007 after meeting with FRU directors over some serious work-related issues.

It was agreed by both parties at the time that Serevi would have no further involvement with Fiji Rugby in the near future and that the particulars of the matter would not be disclosed publicly.
