“I’ll let head office know tomorrow to change my name to Bob to make it easier for some.
“Oh yeah I bet it was joke to.”
He followed up his initial tweet with one of forgiveness.

Murimurivalu was born in Suva and played his junior rugby in Fiji, while being educated at Queen Victoria School.
He was selected by Fiji Under-20s at the Junior Rugby World Cup in 2009, before being signed by Clermont Auvergne in France in 2009, where he spent the next three seasons.
The entertaining outside-back made his international debut in 2011 against Tonga and has made more than 30 Test appearances for the Flying Fijians, including representing his home nation at three successive Rugby World Cups in 2011, ’15 and ’19.
