Nadolo disgusted at what the Drua faced

Former Flying Fijians burly winger Nemani Nadolo took to social media to express his disgust at the way the Fijian Drua players were treated by their hosts the Hurricanes.

Nadolo played for the Waratahs, and the Crusaders in the Super Rugby competition.

He also stamped his mark in Europe with French Top 14 club Montpellier before moving to England to represent Leicester Chiefs and NEC Green Rockets.

Here is what Nadolo posted on his Facebook page.

"How is this even happening? What frustrates me the most is that after a long flight, the team arrives at the airport only to find that their bus is nowhere to be seen.

"Instead of waiting another three hours for it to arrive, the boys jump in the back of a truck to get to the hotel.

"To make matters worse, they're denied a late checkout, leaving them to either wander around or sleep in the lobby for hours while the Hurricanes squad gets to rest comfortably in their rooms right up until game time.

"Me and a lot of others said they lost that game in the last 1 O minutes. But after hearing what happened, I think they actually lost the game the minute they landed in Auckland. Now, think about this: every time a Super Rugby franchise visits Fiji, they're treated like royalty, with police escorts and top-tier hospitality. Can you imagine an Australian or New Zealand team ever being put through something like this?"
