Fiji Water Flying Fijians winger Jiuta Wainiqolo got the surprise of his life when his mother turned up at their training camp in France.

In a video that was posted on the FM96 Facebook page, it documents Ulamila Wainiqolo’s journey to go and see her son.

Jiuta who is usually seen cracking jokes is visibly emotional as he hugged his mother.

Wainiqolo and fellow Flying Fijian Mesake Doge are currently under review as they had exited the Fiji vs Wallabies game early.

The Flying Fijians play Georgia at 3.45am this Sunday.

Meanwhile, Japan will meet Samoa at 7am tomorrow, New Zealand will take on Italy at 7am Saturday, Argentina will play Chile at 1am Sunday, and Scotland will face Romania at 7am Sunday.

Uruguay beat Namibia 36-26 this morning.
