Fiji to join 6N???

[Ellafan]

On Thursday, FRU chief executive John O'Connor said Kean's five-year term had expired and he would "rotate out" of the position in line with the organisation's constitution.

O'Connor praised Kean for turning around the FRU's finances and credited him with lifting the organisation from "the swamp of mediocrity" that preceded his appointment in 2015.

"We are on the verge of joining the Six Nations rugby competition and have Super Rugby New Zealand and Australia knocking on our doors, great opportunities for Fiji Rugby which we could only dream of in the past," O'Connor said.

Eh?

I think it' s the one-off EOY Tourney.

6N + Japan + Fiji playing in 2020.

Perhaps...

[Ellafan]

Talking it up then?

[Kiap]

Well, I can't see them hosting any 6N tests in Suva (or Twickenham) ...

But I could be wrong.

Do they mostly play in the UK or France?

They very very definitely will not be joining the 6 Nations. I have complete and absolute proof of this.


















I can count!

I hope not. They should be playing with other Pacific based nations.

If they do it'll be quite a coup.

Nope

Not really. November-December tourny.

New from the Empire of the Sun:

Japan will wait until World Rugby confirms on Thursday the revised autumn international campaign in Europe before announcing whether it will take part in an eight-country tournament involving the Six Nations and Fiji.

World Rugby’s executive committee last week recommended doubling the number of Tests in the autumn from three to six to allow the Six Nations tournament to be concluded before the autumn internationals are staged on four successive weekends from 14 November.
