FIJI Rugby Union CEO John O’Connor has declined to comment on whether the FRU has overspent its Rugby World Cup budget.

O’Connor did say that he will comment after a meeting with Flying Fijians coach John McKee.

Fiji Times Online asked this question after former Flying Fijians defence coach Peter Ryan posted on social media about his dismissal.

Ryan stated that Flying Fijians coach John McKee had informed him that the FRU had allegedly overspent its WC budget.

Ryan expressed his disappointment saying that he was expecting to achieve something special but this would not be happening now.

He wished the Fiji rugby players all the very best in their endeavours.
