CHRIS GIBBES NAMED FORWARDS COACH FOR DRUA MEN

“Having the opportunity to join this Club is incredibly exciting and I’m determined to add value to the strong foundation that has been built so far. The Drua have a very exciting playing roster, a quality backroom staff and a highly motivated coaching team that I’m looking forward to being a part of. The connection to Fiji is important to me and my family, my grandmother was from Rotuma and my Father was born in Suva, so I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and thrilled to grow this connection. I can’t wait to get started”.

“Chris has a tremendous record in New Zealand as well as other rugby markets. He is the perfect mentor for our forwards as we push to make an even bigger impact in Super Rugby Pacific. Chris’ focus on instilling dominance in the pack complements our incoming Head Coach Glen Jackson’s plans well for the upcoming season. Additionally, he will be yet another coach at the Drua with previous Head Coach experience, which will be invaluable for our young playing group.”
