The Fiji Rugby Union said it has deliberately remained silent on the circumstances surrounding the end of Waisale Serevi's employment with the FRU which has been the subject of much public comment and speculation over the last several months.

In a statement this afternoon, the FRU said while it chooses to remain silent, it is clear there is a concerted campaign from many quarters to recruit Serevi back into the FRU, whether as coach or player. The FRU said it respects those views.

The FRU said suggestions have been made that the FRU has a personal grudge against Serevi. It said these suggestions have no basis.

The FRU said Serevi resigned as coach of the Digicel Fiji sevens team on July 6th after a meeting with the FRU directors over some serious work related issues.

According to the FRU, it was agreed by both parties at the time that Serevi would have no further involvement with Fiji rugby in the near future and that the particulars of the matter would not be disclosed publically.
