Flying Fijians Head coach expected to be named as early as this month - Tawake

The Fiji Rugby Union is expected to name the new Head Coach that will take the Flying Fijians to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France as early as this month.

FRU Chairman Commodore Humphrey Tawake says their immediate priority is the Rugby World Cup.

He says having a local is an option, but they are looking at the professionals available at this time, so there is the right combination of coaching that will be able to deliver in France.

Meanwhile, the FRU accepted the resignation of Flying Fijians Head coach Vern Cotter last Thursday.

The World Cup will be held from 8th September to 28th October in France.
