Fiji is scheduled to play France in two weeks.

Thirteen Barbarians players are facing disciplinary charges for breaching the rules, which led to their game against England being cancelled, but none of the Fijian players were involved.

FBC Sports has sent questions to FRU chief executive John O’Connor who is expected to give a comment later.
