Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Simon Raiwalui has revealed that he will not be looking to extend his contract with the Fiji Rugby Union when his term comes to an end on December 31st, 2023.

In a social media post, Raiwalui says he is making it official specifically on what the next cycle for Fiji Rugby will look like.

He says it has been quite a ride and he thanked the players, the staff, the management and all the supporters for their support.

Raiwalui became the third head coach to guide the Flying Fijians to their third-ever Rugby World Cup quarter finals in which they fell short earlier this week losing to England 30-22.

Meanwhile, the semi finals of the 2023 RWC will kick off this weekend with Argentina taking on the All Blacks at 7am Saturday while England will play South Africa at 7am Sunday.
