Fiji rugby players suspended after drinking binge

Five Fiji players have been suspended from the national team after going on a drunken spree in Japan last weekend.

The players went out on an all night binge after the Fijians beat Japan in the Pacific Five Nations Cup.

They fought among each other, missed team training the next day, and also allegedly smashed up a hotel room in Osaka.

Fiji coach Wayne Pivac says he has been involved in rugby a long time, but has never seen this kind of behaviour.

Further action is likely to be taken against the five players by the Fiji Union.
