The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua is gearing up for an important bye week as they prepare for their historic match against the Brumbies in Ba next weekend. Head coach Glen Jackson expressed that this break is well-timed for a team that has faced a grueling start to the season, having played three demanding rounds already.
With several players having accumulated substantial game time, the focus now turns to recovery. “It’s bye weekend for us coming up, so the boys need it. A lot of guys have played a lot of rugby, even though it’s only round three. Today we’ve taken a lot of energy out of everyone’s body, so it’s important they rest,” Jackson explained.
Despite the emphasis on recovery, the Drua will remain active during their bye week. The team has planned a significant engagement in Ba, allowing them to connect with locals and sponsors. “We’ve got an exciting Friday during the bye week when we go to Ba with all our sponsors and schools and everyone down there. We’re excited to get to Ba,” Jackson noted.
The Drua’s matchup against the Brumbies will take place at 4R Electrical Govind Park next Saturday at 3.35pm, marking a notable moment for the franchise as they continue to broaden their impact across the nation. Fans can look forward to watching this exciting game live on FBC Sports. This week presents a pivotal opportunity for the Drua not only to recuperate but also to strengthen community ties, showcasing the team’s commitment to its supporters.
