The Flying Fijians 15s rugby management team has brushed aside allegations in today's dailies that Timoci Nagusa was dropped because he reported to camp late on Sunday night after coming back from the Police Crusade.

Manager Semi Rogoyawa clarifies that Nagusa was injured in last week’s loss to the Junior All Blacks and after conducting the fitness test on Monday the medical team advised him not to play this Saturday.

Nagusa has been quoted as saying that he was disappointed claiming he was being penalized for attending the police crusade last Sunday.

However, Rogoyawa added that despite reports, the team morale is still high and the boys are focused on the big game ahead.

Fiji is gunning for their fifth win against the Samoa tomorrow, and if they succeed they will remain in the Top 10, if they lose they drop in the IRB World Rankings.

In tomorrow's Pacific Nations matches at 12:10pm, Japan meet Tonga and at 3:10pm the Flying Fijians meet Samoa and a commentary of the match can be heard on our sister station Viti FM.
