The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has today announced the appointment of former All Blacks analyst Alistair Rogers as the new Defence Coach ahead of the 2024 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.

Rogers replaced Brad Harris who finished his tenure with the club after the completion of the 2023 season in July.

The Fijian Drua says Rogers has a stellar track record at first-class rugby and will be a valuable addition to the coaching staff.

Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans says Rogers brings with him excellent experience which will be important for the team as they embark on their third season of Super Rugby Pacific.

Evans says they are thrilled to have Rogers join the coaching staff and look forward to achieving new heights with him as part of the team.

Rogers officially starts with the Club today as the team heads into its second week of pre-season training.

The Fijian Drua will kick off their 2024 Shop N Save Super Rugby campaign in Round 1 against the Blues on 24 February in Whangarei, New Zealand.
