Rumours speculating that former Fiji Airways 7s player Isake Katonibau being appointed as assistant to Gareth Baber is not true.

O’Connor says there are rumours of the Ice man taking up the position however this is not true.

There is still no confirmation on whether FRU will select someone to assist Baber, however earlier this year Saiasi Fuli has been given the role as an understudy attending a few tournaments with the Fiji Barbarians 7s team.
