Fiji players in front of vaccinate Fiji signage during the International Test Match between the All Blacks and Fiji in Hamilton. The jerseys were set to read "Vaccinate Fiji - It's your choice". We'll just put the major sponsor back on and just move on with that, so that's effectively what happened." Fiji's team manager Willie Baleinabuli told RNZ the Fiji Rugby Union lost $FJ400,000 ($US193,000) by not wearing the "Vaccinate Fiji" message on their shirts during last weekend's first test. "Everybody is aware of that - the players know it's a major sponsor and they're hurting - and this seemed be the only, seemed to be the fair way of representing that major sponsor."
