New Zealand’s Immigration officials in Suva says this tour falls under sanctions placed on Fijian sporting sides to attend tournaments here.
Fiji 7s coach - Waisale Serevi was sent an invitation after the Warriors won the Fiji Day tournament in Brisbane last Saturday.
Serevi had already picked his team which included former Blues winger - Rupeni Caucau.
