The sad news came just hours before Josua helped to secure Fiji’s 17-12 win over Georgia in Bordeaux, France.
Tuisova’s father, Isikeli Ratulevu, informed him just hours before Fiji’s match against Georgia that his son had passed away after a long illness.

Surprisingly, Josua made the difficult decision to stay in France with his team, rather than return to Fiji for Tito’s funeral. He said that he wanted to continue playing for his country and to honor his son’s memory.
Josua’s decision was met with support from his team, the Fijian Rugby Union, and the rugby community as a whole.
Nonetheless, the general public had differing views on Josua’s decision to skip his son’s funeral.
While some applauded him for his bravery and commitment, others chastised him for prioritizing the match above his son’s funeral.
