Punjas Rugby Series

The Punjas Rugby Series was a rugby union challenge series played between Fiji A and Tonga A. It was sponsored by Fijian company Punja & Sons and played in Fiji in 2010 and 2011.[1] There was some discussion about expanding the series to include teams from Samoa, the Cook Islands and Papua New Guinea, but this did not eventuate and the series ended after the 2011 edition.[1][2]
