Fiji Rugby Bans Star Josua Tuisova Amid Shocking Allegations

The Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) has made a stunning announcement, placing star winger and center Josua Tuisova on an indefinite ban amid an ongoing investigation into alleged misconduct. The move has sent shockwaves through the rugby community, as Tuisova, one of Fiji’s most dominant players, faces uncertainty over his playing future.

According to sources close to the FRU, the investigation centers around an incident that allegedly took place during a recent international tour, where Tuisova was accused of violating team policies and breaching the FRU’s code of conduct. While specific details remain undisclosed, early reports suggest that the matter involves serious disciplinary concerns.

“This is not a decision we take lightly. Josua Tuisova is a phenomenal athlete and a national hero, but as a union, we must uphold the highest standards of integrity,” said an FRU spokesperson in an official statement.

Tuisova’s suspension is a massive blow to Fiji’s rugby squad, especially with the upcoming Pacific Nations Cup and preparations for the 2027 Rugby World Cup already underway. The 30-year-old powerhouse is known for his brutal running style and unmatched physicality, making him an irreplaceable asset for the team.

“Without Tuisova, Fiji loses a key attacking weapon,” said former Fiji international Seremaia Bai. “He is one of the most feared runners in world rugby, and his absence will be felt.”

Tuisova, who currently plays club rugby for Racing 92 in France, has yet to make an official statement regarding the allegations. His representatives have denied any wrongdoing and called for a fair and transparent process.

“Josua is fully cooperating with the investigation and maintains his innocence. We hope the situation will be resolved swiftly,” said a spokesperson for the player.

Meanwhile, rumors have begun circulating that Racing 92 may also take action, with some reports suggesting the club is considering suspending Tuisova from selection until the matter is resolved.

Fijian rugby fans have taken to social media to express their disbelief.

As the investigation continues, it remains unclear whether Tuisova will be able to clear his name or if this marks the end of his international career with Fiji. For now, Fiji Rugby moves forward without one of its most iconic players, leaving both fans and teammates in limbo.
