The Chairman of the Fiji Rugby Union, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga said he will never cut off his allegiance to the Fiji military and the government to travel to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup.
This follows NZ Foreign Affairs Minister, Murray McCully’s announcement that Colonel Tikoitoga’s visa request to go to NZ for the Rugby World Cup has been rejected.
