Fijian player Ratu Josaia Nacika has only a few days left in France and is awaiting deportation after serving a one-year prison sentence for sexual assault last October.

This has been confirmed by French media outlet Midi Olympique.

They report that the second-row forward has less than a week left before being sent back to Fiji under a deportation order (OQTF).

The Fijian Rugby Players Association in France says it is working to better support young players and curb the excesses that have become too frequent, while monitoring expatriate players and regulating the transfer system.

The 30-year-old Fijian was also the first recipient of the Orange Card when it was introduced by officials.
