Shirt designs not approved

Dear Editor,

The Cook Islands Rugby Union has not contracted Matai Sports to produce any type of rugby merchandise so we too were equally surprised to see the Cook Islands Rugby Union’s official logo (designed specifically for rugby union) ~ the green and gold tangaroa face ~ being used on the ‘Supporters Gear’ in question. This is not something the CIRU has condoned and we are currently taking the necessary steps to resolve this matter.

Secretary of the CIRU
