Chris Cracknell (born 6 August 1984 in Windsor, England) is a former England rugby union player. He is currently the Coach for the Fijiana team after being brought in by Ben Ryan (rugby union) in 2014. [1]
A flanker, Cracknell has previously played for the Cornish Pirates, Exeter Chiefs, Bath and Worcester Warriors.
In May 2010 Cracknell became subject of a WRFC and RFU investigation, when he became involved in an altercation with fellow Worcester player James Collins's father following the teams relegation decider match with Leeds. He was later fined and banned.[2]
In 2015, Fiji Rugby Union has confirmed that he has been chosen to be the assistant coach for the Fiji 7's team alongside Ben Ryan, who became the Fiji coach in 2013. In 2015, he was promoted as the head coach for the Fijiana team.
