The 37-year-old Ratuniyarawa was released on bail and is reported to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on December 4.

"As soon as we were contacted by South Wales Police, we co-operated fully, assisting them with their enquiries," the Barbarians, an invitational team containing players from many countries, said in a statement. "On their advice, we can't comment any further as the investigation is ongoing."

Ratuniyarawa, who was in the Fiji squad at the recen Rugby World Cup, had been selected on the bench for the Barbarians for the match at the Principality Stadium.

Wales international Aaron Shingler was called up to replace him.

Ratuniyarawa played for English club London Irish last season after signing from Northampton Saints.
