The Fijian Drua 7s team is set to face off against the Fiji 7s team, which secured a Silver Medal at the Olympics, in a series of training matches scheduled for Thursday at the Drua headquarters in Nadi. This preseason continues for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua despite the absence of 25 players who are currently in Europe with the Flying Fijians, a situation mirrored by the Fiji Airways Fiji 7s team.
Key players, including Joseva Tamani, Sikeli Rabitu, and robust forward Epeli Momo, are expected to showcase their skills alongside a group of enthusiastic Development players as they take on the formidable Fiji 7s team.
This event holds special significance for Naca Cawanibuka, the Head of Athletic Performance for Drua, who is poised to compete against his former mentee, Osea Kolinisau, the head coach of the Fiji 7s team. The first match will kick off at 10:15 AM.
This matchup not only serves as a crucial training opportunity for both teams but also as a platform for emerging talent to demonstrate their potential. Such encounters foster competitiveness and camaraderie within Fijian rugby, reflecting the nation’s commitment to nurturing skillful athletes in the sport.
