“Absolutely disgusted with a group of Rebel supporters who threw racial slurs at Frank Lomani tonight,” Tuidraki wrote.

“They were becoming more obnoxious as they drank. So when Frank came off they proceeded to scream at him ‘F— off’ and then the cherry on top ‘black c– ’. AAMI security were hopeless,the Drua supporters asked security to eject them all.”

A man was ejected from AAMI Park after the alleged incident.

Byrne wants to see a life ban for the culprit and said support had been offered to Lomani.

“You lose your right to come and watch the football live,” Byrne said. “If they’re able to get hold of this guy and he is a Rebels member,then I would expect him to no longer be a member of the Rebels. Watch it at home in the safety of your own lounge room and you can say what you like because no one can hear you.

“There’s never been a reason to say it but in 2024,you have to be aware that it’s unacceptable behaviour. It’s ridiculous. These Fijian players provide some of the best spectacles of the game ... and yet they’re exposed to this low behaviour. It blows my mind.

“From our perspective,we were happy with the Rebels reaching out on Saturday morning saying they are investigating it. I’ve had a chat to him since then. He’s a strong man.

“I would like to think they are trying to make a statement around support. He shouldn’t ever come to another game of rugby.”

The Drua also had Jone Koroiduadua sent off six minutes from full-time in their 41-20 loss.

Lomani is one of Fiji’s best rugby players and helped the national team pull off a remarkable upset win over the Wallabies in the pool stages at last year’s Rugby World Cup.
