SRU receives financial assistance, acknowledges tough road ahead

"We're looking at the first few matches which will be our Manu Samoa and Georgia here, and then to Fiji in June, and not only that also the sevens qualifier in Monaco," said Faleomavaega Patrick Fepuleai.

He made the comments during a presentation of financial assistance to the union from Bank of South Pacific.

BSP handed over more than $14,700 tala in assistance from the profits of a long time initiative to SRU.

"The offer today from BSP is the fruit of a special initiative in our partnership with them," said SRU CEO Faleomavaega.
