The Fiji Rugby Union is to lodge an official complaint against the New Zealand Government over the rejection of its chairman's visa application.
Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga applied for the visa last week to accompany the Fijian side to the Rugby World Cup, Radio New Zealand International reports.
Colonel Tikoitoga told FBC News he knew the visa would be rejected, but the application had to be made to allow the New Zealand Government to make an official stand.
He says New Zealand should not be holding international tournaments if it is going to sanction who can play and who cannot, and the Fiji union will complain to the International Rugby Board.
