The NSW Waratahs are locked in a "frantic" search for a new coach after unveiling Fijian miracle worker Simon Raiwalui as director of performance.
Raiwalui, who masterminded Fiji's first win over Australia since 1961 to send the Wallabies crashing out of last year's Rugby World Cup, has been tasked with securing a replacement for Darren Coleman.
"I do get the sense of urgency at the moment," Waratahs chief executive Paul Doorn said of the growing angst around the franchise not having a head coach in place for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific competition after finishing last this year.
