Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Coach John McKee

Fiji Rugby Union Chairman Francis Kean says Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Coach John McKee's contract expires in early December and the Board will follow due process similar for all employment contracts at FRU.

It has already been revealed that McKee will be out of contract at the end of this Rugby World Cup cycle however he is already planning for the 2023 tournament in France.

McKee also says securing Fiji's place in France will give him the chance to blood new talent over the next four years, with some experienced hands expected to retire. 

When asked by Fijivillage, Kean says the FRU Board looks forward to reviewing McKee's Rugby World Cup Report.

He says this is a routine exercise for all our national rugby team coaches.

The next Board meeting is scheduled for early November.

McKee will now prepare the Fiji team for the Barbarians test match in Twickenham on 16th November. 

Meanwhile, England Rugby Coach Eddie Jones will be fresh off the plane from Japan and the Rugby World Cup to lead the Barbarians and he has emphasized that being selected to coach the Barbarians was such an honour.
