The proposed departure of Flying Fijians coach Simon Raiwalui has both its positives and negatives.
If he is adamant to vacate this position, he must be thanked for his services, given the congratulatory accolades that he deserves and wished successful endeavours in his future.
Fiji did extremely well in the 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC) campaign, reaching the quarterfinals even though it fell short in two critical pool games that could have been won.
One must question, however, the style of rugby that Fiji played, seemingly a typical Northern Hemisphere-type game of lots of high kicks when in possession, instead of the traditional running style of Fijian rugby, where they seem to excel.
Fiji kicked away too much possession instead of using the ball in our traditional style of running, which, I think, creates lots of opportunities.
Please promote Seruvakula to head coach, Flying Fijians. He is a good exponent of using Fiji’s greatest asset, running rugby! His record speaks for itself.
Toso, Viti, Toso.
