Brad Mooar is appointed as the new head coach of the Fijian Drua, according to announcements from the Nadi-based franchise. Mooar, a former All Blacks assistant coach, is set to take charge ahead of the 2027 Super Rugby Pacific season. The reports say Mooar will leave his current coaching role with the Crusaders, where he has been an assistant coach. One source describes him as a four-time Super Rugby championship-winning assistant coach with the Crusaders, indicating a track record within the competition. The Drua appointment is presented as a leadership change for the franchise, with Mooar taking over as head coach rather than in an assistant capacity. The timing of the move is specifically linked to the 2027 season, and coverage frames the appointment as part of the team’s forward planning and coaching transition.
