We do not have the $200,000 that has to be paid to the Fijiana at the moment.

Fiji Rugby Football Union Trust Board Member, Jenny Seeto stated this in a press conference at Rugby House adding they will explain to the Fijiana that they have a debt, they will find the money but it will take some time.

Seeto says they are waiting for the captain to come back into the country as they want to meet with the girls.

Fiji Rugby Chair, Peter Mazey says he wants to meet with the Fijiana for their input on their new plans, saying the sad part was that the girls did not want to come and meet at Rugby House, so they have made arrangements to meet them outside.

When questioned on who promised the $300 daily allowance to the Fijiana, Mazey says he thinks it was their manager.

Mazey says they are conducting the investigation to find out where it came from.

Trust Board Member, Sikeli Tuinamuana asks why were the Fijiana promised $300 when the policy is $100.

Tuinamuana says because they were promised $300 they will honour that commitment.

He says the investigation is being done to establish the facts of what happened.

He further says they need to know why these things happened.

Tuinamuana says this is not necessarily to take people to task because they are looking at the way forward but if there is a criminal element they will pass it on to the authorities.
