'It's a tragedy': Fijian team ditches plan to wear 'Vaccinate' jerseys against All Blacks


Nemani Nadolo of Fiji warms up before the test against the All Blacks in Dunedin on Saturday. Fiji's rugby team abandoned a plan to wear jerseys supporting Covid vaccinations when playing against the All Blacks on Saturday, amid opposition from players. They were supposed to wear shirts bearing the message "Vaccinate Fiji”, but ultimately took to the field without them. A Fijian team manager confirmed the decision in the lead-up to the test at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin. While the home team led 21-11 at halftime in Dunedin, the Fijians’ physical approach made the All Blacks work for their win.
