Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Coach, Gareth Baber says Mike Friday is entitled to his comments after Friday accused the Fiji players of crawling on hands and feet through a ruck during the London 7s.
Speaking from Paris this morning, Baber says he has met with Friday and they have also spoken to the Referees Assessor and Manager on this issue.
Friday had said that he was somewhat annoyed at how the rucks were officiated.
