The welfare of players is the main priority for Fiji Rugby Union in any club level, provincial or international rugby arena.
Not only the medical team or physios can save lives on the field of play but a new pathway has been directed by Fiji Rugby Union to allow match officials to take up First Aid courses.
These changes were effective in the first two rounds of the Skipper Provincial Cup competition and the Inkk Farebrother Challenge.
Two separate games in the Skipper Provincial Cup competition witnessed separate incidents where the players suffered potential injuries during head clashes in a tackle situation and the referees in both games applied their First Aid knowledge before the medical team arrived.
