Proud Aussie/Fijian…🇦🇺🇫🇯...my views are my own

- The morning after, I just wanted to say thank you to every person who supported us through this campaign…I am genuinely overwhelmed & humbled by the amount of messages sent through overnight. It may take a while, but I will try to reply to every message sent through! 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
- Proud is an understatement…🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
00:00 - Well I guess it is time to make it official, specifically what the next cycle will look like for Fiji Rugby…I will not be seeking an extension of employment with FRU past 31st December. Thanks again to the players, staff & all the supporters, it has been quite a ride! 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
- How can you not be happy for the Springboks when you hear Siya Kolisi speak, a true champion of the game…🫡 🇿🇦
- I love scrums, I love resets, I love cauliflower ears, I love front rowers discussing scrums like they are cracking The Da Vinci Code, I love backs getting frostbite on a winters night, I love the fact a short stumpy bloke can be the highest paid player on a team…I love scrums!
- Is that a dummy hamstring tear that freezes the defence?!
00:00 - One week the chat is the need to de-power the scrum, next week it’s the maul, next week it’s the ruck, key fundamentals that makes our game truly unique…do we change to suit a style/some or do we embrace what is uniquely rugby union? I vote the later, loved tonight’s match…🤷🏾♂️
00:00 - “…we f*cking shouldn’t have lost to Fiji” and why is that? …let’s not take away from the fact Fiji played really well…greatest day in Fiji Rugby…nothing against Fiji’s performance…but…but…but… It starts to get a little condescending…do our young men deserve that?
- I love the confidence. If you wish I could organise a little 10m gauntlet drill with Radradra, Tuisova, Yato, Nakarara and Mata as an introduction? I can even format the drill to suit, 15 seconds on, 15 minutes off...
- Officially finished up with Fiji Rugby Union, very thankful for the experiences & what has been achieved over an interesting 4 years! Thanks to entire HPU, all players & in particular the good friends I have made…rugby in Fiji will always hold a place dear to my heart…🇫🇯❤️
- So my whole career I thought people were swearing at me, good to know I was just being told what “side” I was on…🤣
