The Fiji Barbarians team Manager, Dan Domoni has called for qualified Pacific referees to officiate at the Pacific Rugby Cup matches after a different style of refereeing was done following the Fiji Barbarians 17-23 loss to 2007 PRC champions, Savai'i Samoa.
Domoni said this has been one of the discouraging factors encountered by the young boys when they travel on away games.
Domoni added that if the organizers consider the problem then Fiji will stand a good chance to walk away winners this year.
Fiji has never won the title since its inauguration in 2006.
At the moment, the Osea Umuumulovo side sits at the bottom of the PRC table and will be having a match away from home against Upolu Samoa.
The Fiji Barbarians/ Upolu Samoa match is at 5:30pm in Apia and the Fiji Warriors will host Savai'i Samoa on Saturday at Churchill Park at 3pm, and a live commentary of the match can be heard on our sister station Viti FM.
