Welcome to the third edition of the Rewind Wednesdays series featuring re-released and re-edited interviews from the Coconut Wireless Podcast, the show which birthed the Dua Moana Podcast.
This episode features an interview from April 2023 that I had with Simon Raiwalui who was the Flying Fijians coach at the time and was in the midst of preparations for the Rugby World Cup being held later that year. This chat features Simon's reflections on his own rugby career as well as his plans and aspirations for the upcoming World Cup where his team would beat the higher ranked Wallabies in the pool stages to achieve a quarter finals berth.
