The Digicel Fiji 7s Team Manager, Alifereti Malo is stepping down for the last two legs of the 2009/2010 IRB 7s series to be replaced by Jope Tuivanuavou.
The FRU had initially appointed the two managers (Alifereti Malo and Jope Tuivanuavou) on a rotational basis. Whereas last year they took alternate legs of the series, this year has seen Malo taking the first two legs and Tuivanuavou has today been appointed to take the next two legs, starting with the Adelaide and Hong Kong 7s.
FRU CEO Keni Dakuidreketi explained the reason for the change.
“We’ve just re-looked at the format we’ve been using regarding the team manager and just felt it was an appropriate moment to make a change,” Dakuidreketi said.
“It’s also an apt time for Jope to come on board as he managed the Digicel Fiji 7s team last year when they were victorious in Hong Kong.”
Tuivanuavou has been appointed until the end of the 2009-10 IRB Sevens Series.
