There is still a lot of controversy surrounding Samu Domoni Junior's selection to be Ilivasi Tabua's successor.

Fiji Rugby Union Acting CEO Keni Dakuidreketi said that after the incident with Tabua, there were a number of local coaches that were sought to fill the position, but no one met the criteria.

Dakuidreketi added they never closed the doors to local coaches, as they were all given a chance.

However, it was seen that the local coaches still had a lot to improve if they were to fill the position.
