There is obviously a lot going around on social media and we have talked to the players about what is happening.

Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Simon Raiwalui stated this in a press conference saying they are aware of some division trying to be pushed between the team.

Raiwalui says he had shared in the post match conference what had happened.

Fiji Rugby Media Officer, Vashneel Prasad states that the account using abusive language on social media is not Flying Fijians skipper Waisea Nayacalevu’s official account.

Prasad says there are a lot of people creating fake accounts online.

When questioned on preparations for the Rugby World Cup, Raiwalui says they are currently on their fourth week of camp together as a team and their Taveuni trip in week 1 helped the team with their connections.

The coach further says they are looking to improve on what they did last week, checking on the depth of the squad as well as players combinations.

Raiwalui will name his squad at 1.30 this afternoon to face Samoa before they fly out later today.
