Fiji Rugby have conceded they underpaid their women's team for last year's World Cup and this year's Oceania Rugby Women's Championship after captain Sereima Leweniqila made a public complaint on social media.

"What does it take for our voices to be heard? Do we always have to fight to get what we deserve? Pay Us What is Due to Us." "During my further discussions with Sereima, I also learned that the women who represented us at the women's World Cup last year were also underpaid and that they had not received any response from Rugby House to their queries."

"I feel I must thank all of those great women's rugby players who had the strength and honesty to come out and bring their rights to the trustees' attention," he said.
