Rugby is built on Respect, Discipline, and Integrity.
As we proudly share this important message from the Fiji Rugby Union, Faith Brothers Rugby Club stands firmly in support of protecting our match officials and upholding the values that make our game great.
Referees, touch judges, and match officials play a crucial role in ensuring every match is played fairly, safely, and within the laws of the game. Whether we agree with every decision or not, they deserve our respect at all times.
Let us continue to uphold rugby’s core values—Respect, Discipline, Integrity, Passion, and Solidarity—both on and off the field. Together, we can create a positive environment for players, officials, coaches, and supporters alike.
Respect the whistle. Respect the game. Respect each other.
Faith, Brotherhood, Victory.

🚨 Respect for Match Officials is Non-Negotiable.
The Fiji Rakavi Football Union has imposed significant sanctions following serious incidents involving the abuse of a Match Official during a Vodafone Vanua elimination match between Rewa and Tavua.
The Judicial Committee found that the conduct involved verbal abuse, repeated disrespect of authority, and physical abuse of a Match Official — actions that have no place in rugby.
These sanctions reinforce FRFU's Zero Tolerance Policy and send a clear message that respect, discipline, and integrity remain at the heart of our game.
Match Officials play a vital role in rugby and deserve to perform their duties in a safe and respectful environment. FRFU remains unwavering in its commitment to protecting Match Officials and preserving the values that define Fiji Rugby.
