Former Fiji Airways National Men’s 7s head coach Ben Ryan called out the match officials in a social media post saying grey officiating killed us and is so disappointing.

Ryan adds he is not denigrating the Wales performance but he was just stating his opinion as it was a cracking game.

Former Flying Fijians winger Nemani Nadolo also showed his frustration online stating that he is confused about the yellow card decision that was given to the Flying Fijians.

He also asked about the inconsistency in the whole high tackle ruling adding that maybe it is how the referee interprets the tackle at the time.

fijivillage News has sent questions to coach Simon Raiwalui if the team management is going to raise the issue about the standard of refereeing in this match. He is yet to respond.

The Flying Fijians will now take on the Wallabies in their next RWC match next Monday at 3.45am in Lyon.
