caucaunibuca quitte l'équipe nationale

Surprise samedi à Apia(samoa). La selaction des figji s'est présentée sans sa vedette, l'agenais Rupeni caucaunibuca, prévu au centre.
Il s'était pourtant présenté au rassemblement de l'équipe à l'aéroport de nadi(fidji) avec son épouse qui voulait voyaager avec l'équipe mais qui se plaignait d'une rage de dents.
"mais soudain, un malentendu a eclaté. alors il est sorti de l'aéroport" a déclaré Wayne PIVAC l'entraineur trés remonté contre son joueur.
"il sera difficile de lui donner une nouvelle chance. Il a dit et fait des choses qu'on n'imagine pas. il faut bien qu'il ait une ligne à ne pas dépasser."

on va pouvoir faire un topic intitulé "les péripéties de rupéni et la selection fidjienne"
mais qui dit vrai Rupéni ou l'entraineur Pivac, en tout cas on dirait qu'ils ont un sacré problème d'entente c'est deux là.
sinon je pourrait avoir l'adresse des sites ou vous trouvez les infos, merci.

Probleme de portable pour Rupeni ?

Caucau explains bizarre mix-up
Monday July 11, 2005

France-based rugby star winger Rupeni Caucaunibuca is in the dark about his future with the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU).

This follows his dumping from the national rugby side that lost to Samoa in a World Cup qualifying clash over the weekend in Apia.

A disappointed Caucau said he was ready to fly out on Saturday when he got a call from the FRU informing him that his services were no longer required because they had found a replacement.

Caucau said he assured the FRU and the team management that he would be traveling to Samoa. However, he was surprised to learn hours before boarding the flight that he had been dropped from the squad.

He said Poll Simon claims that he (Caucau) switched off his mobile after Poll had called him from Samoa. Caucau denied it saying his mobile turned off itself because it was not charged.

He said he had forgotten his charger in the village and was using one of the player's phone-charger at the hotel. Caucau said the management was aware about the status of his mobile.

He said his phone was not charged when the team went to Samoa and its battery had gone low and it went off automatically when he and Poll were talking. He said the media took the "turning-off-the-phone" incident and milked it into a story.

Caucau said he suspected the team management had learnt from the media that he allegedly switched off his mobile which triggered them to dump him.

He believes he has a lot to offer to Fiji rugby and the situation will not stop him from chasing a spot in the national side.

Caucau questioned the FRU caller, whether he was being dumped only for the Samoa clash or for all the remaining qualifying matches.

According to the FRU, Pivac will be making a decision when the team arrives in Tonga for their return match.

Pivac wants Caucau taken to task
Monday July 11, 2005

National rugby 15s coach Wayne Pivac is expected to submit a report to the Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) board regarding winger Rupeni Caucau.

Pivac said it was time somebody took the star winger to task because his behaviour had hindered team preparations.

Pivac said Caucau needed to explain himself before the board if he really wanted to play for Fiji. Pivac said the board would decide his future.

However, Caucau said he was prepared to face the board to defend himself. But before meeting the board he wanted to clear himself first with the team management when they arrive back from Tonga.

His Labasa-based manager Ifereimi Tikomaivatukoula said Caucau was still longing to play for Fiji and he would wait for Pivac to call him up if he changed his mind.

He said the FRU should be blamed for the mess because two hours before boarding the plane to Samoa on Saturday a woman from the FRU called him again and informed him that his replacement Maikeli Nadridri would use his tickets instead.

He said the FRU had confused him and made the situation hard for him and Pivac. He said he was frustrated with the last-minute cancellation and wants a face-to-face talk with Pivac about what actually happened.

His manager said he had been blamed for everything. For this he said he wanted to clear himself to Pivac.

Tikomaivatukoula said Caucau will remain in Labasa waiting for any call to join the national side.

The star winger is bound to return to France next month.

Fidji : Fin de carrière internationale pour la star Caucaunibuca ???
Le coach fidjien Wayne Pivac avait décidé de donner une nouvelle chance à l'ailier star Rupeni Caucaunibuca (ailier d'Agen), exclu de la sélection fidjienne en juin pour avoir manqué des entraînements, une habitude pour Caucau.
Sélectionné pour débuter la rencontre du Tri-Nations pacifique contre les Samoa à Apia en n°12, Caucau est arrivé à l'aéroport avec sa femme Sokoveti, souffrant d'une rage de dents, et qui voulait voyager jusqu'aux Samoa avec la sélection fidjienne.
Voyant que ça ne se ferait pas, Caucau et sa femme ont quitté l'aéroport sans explications...
Le comportement de Caucau est très enfantin, puisqu'on notera que la femme du capitaine de la sélection fidjienne (finalement battu 36 à 10) Jacob Rauluni a encouragé son mari a aller aux Samoa et jouer pour les Fidji, alors qu'elle vient de vivre un accouchement assez difficile.

Les péripéties de Caucau aux antipodes ne font pas trop sérieux. Espérons que sa sérénité reviendra rapidement du côté de la Garonne.

sa sérénité il a jamais perdu a Agen, il a toujours étais sérieux et on a jamais entendu dire qu'il n'allait pas aux entrainements.
Rupéni et la sélection fidjienne viennent peut être plus d'un problème d'entente avec l'entraineur, enfin de ce que j'ai lu j'en retire cette conclusion.

Je parlais du potentiel de sérénité future et non de la sérénité passée.

Caucau veut toujours jouer avec la sélection malgré tout ce qui se raconte autour de lui

Caucau still wants to play for Fiji
Wednesday July 13, 2005

Sensational rugby winger Rupeni Caucau says he’s still available to play for Fiji despite being dumped by national coach Wayne Pivac in the two remaining World Cup qualifying matches.

Caucau’s father, Emosi Rasoki, told Fijilive from Labasa that Caucau still wanted to play for Fiji and the situation last week, where he left the airport as the team was boarding its flight to Samoa, would not force him to change his allegiance for any other team.

Rasoki said the incident was unfortunate and people had all the right to judge and criticise Caucau. He said he accepted constructive criticism in as far as Caucau was concerned.

He said his son remained adamant that he would don the black and white jumper soon. Rasoki said Caucau was currently in his village in Bua after arriving on Sunday. He took off with his sick wife Sokoveti and daughter Kara and is expected in Labasa tomorrow to see if Pivac changes his mind and calls him.

Pivac said in a radio interview that he did not need Caucau in the remaining qualifying series against Tonga this weekend and the grudge match against Samoa in two weeks in Fiji.

He said Caucau let himself and the national team down so many times and now the ball was in his court to decide whether he wanted to play for Fiji or not.
