Former Flying Fijians captain and Fijiana 15s coach, Moses Rauluni, has resigned.

Former Flying Fijians captain and current Fijiana 15s coach, Moses Rauluni, has resigned.

The Fiji Rugby Union in a statement says that this decision has been made by Rauluni as he understands the recent result have not been to the high performance standards he set for the team.

Last weekend the Vodafone Fijiana 15s were thumped by Samoa 45-17 in its second WXV3 match in Dubai.

Rauluni will complete his contract with FRU after the Fijiana’s WXV3 campaign before returning to Australia to be with his family.

After being appointed the head coach last year, Rauluni took the Fijian Drua to their third consecutive Super W final this year.

He also led the Fijiana in qualifying for the Rugby World Cup 2025, and winning the Oceania Championship.

FRU chief executive, Rovereto Nayacalevu, says they respect Rauluni’s decision and are grateful for his hard work and dedication to Fijian rugby.

The FRU will begin the process of finding a suitable replacement as head coach of the Fijiana 15s and Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua.

The Fijiana plays Spain at 4:30am on Sunday in their final WXV3 match.
