The Fiji National Rugby League is now looking at a tentative July date to begin the 2021 Vodafone Cup season with the board keeping a firm eye on developments due to the current coronavirus situation in the country.

“We are looking at beginning the tournament on July 17 but that will depend on the current situation,” said acting chief executive officer Don Natabe.

Natabe said with nothing written in stone, they were working hand in hand with the Fiji Sports Commission and adhering to government directives before making a final decision.

The previous date was set at June 24 which has now been moved.

“It is still very much still in the air and we are looking at the proper guidelines in terms of when the green light will be given.”

In the meantime Natabe said they had created an online portal in which they could communicate with all teams and prepare players for when play resumes.

“It is an online portal, just so we can maintain communication and allow all managers, clubs and players to access resources to help them during isolation.

“The feedback has been great and we are all eager to get their greenlight and get our players on the field.

“With it being a world cup year, we are very excited to also get our local players back in play here on the home front,” he said.
