Former Fiji Water Flying Fijians head coach Simon Raiwalui has been appointed as Assistant Head Coach for the First Nations & Pasifika Invitational XV.
The team will face the British and Irish Lions this July.
The coaching team is led by former Wallaby forward Toutai Kefu, who is also the Tongan National 15s coach.
Former All Blacks legend and Moana Pasifika coach Tana Umaga and former Wallabies prop Sekope Kepu are also part of the panel.
Following Raiwalui's departure from the Fiji Rugby Union, he joined World Rugby as the High Performance Pathways and Player Development Manager.
In June 2024, Raiwalui took on a new role as Director of Performance with the New South Wales Waratahs, marking his first official position within a Super Rugby franchise.
The dates for the matches are yet to be confirmed.
