There will be a Deans under 18 quarterfinal rematch between Lelean and Nasinu Secondary School.

This comes after Nasinu filed a complaint against a Lelean player who didn't register within the given time frame.

The rule states that every player has to be registered within 70 days before the Deans competition starts.

Nasinu won the appeal but it was also found that their appeal wasn't signed by the principal so the disputes committee found both parties to be at fault.

Nasinu team Manager Eremasi Levu said they were not happy with the decision but are thankful that the Secondary Schools Rugby board have look into the issue.           

Levu said that after the match between Lelean last Wednesday, the players were hurt emotionally on the decision that was made.

According to Levu, they have been working on a new game plan and have identified their weaknesses which they have been looking at.

He added that the team will prove this weekend that they are not here just to make up the numbers.

Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Association President Paula Motu said the decision was reached after further discussions.
