Former Fiji Water Flying Fijians coach Simon Raiwalui has congratulated former Flying Fijians assistant coach Glen Jackson on his appointment as the new Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach and says Jackson is the right man for the job.
Jackson, who was the assistant to Raiwalui as the Flying Fijians coach to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, was announced as the new Drua head coach yesterday after outgoing coach Mick Byrne was promoted to be the new coach for the Flying Fijians.
In a post on social media, Raiwalui says Jackson has a great rugby mind and is an even better people person.
He says he believes Jackson will do a great job with the Drua.
