2026 Nations Championship Disciplinary Update: Simione Kuruvoli

The Disciplinary Committee has found Fiji's scrumhalf Simione Kuruvoli guilty of physical abuse in contravention of Law 9.12.

The physical abuse, for which Kuruvoli received a red card, occurred in the 48th minute of the first half during the Nations Championship match between Fiji and England at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.

The Disciplinary Committee determined that the act merited a mid-range entry point of eight weeks/matches.

In light of Kuruvoli accepting he committed an act of foul play as well as mitigating factors such as his disciplinary record, conduct, and remorse, the Committee applied the full 50 per cent reduction in sanction.

Kuruvoli has been suspended from all forms of the game for four weeks.
