The Fijian Drua are set to take on the Western Force this Sunday at 6:05 PM in Perth, carrying a wave of confidence despite the suspension of key player Motikiai Murray. Head coach Glen Jackson is optimistic about the team’s depth, pointing to several skilled players ready to fill the gap in the back row.
Kitione Salawa, Elia Canakaivata, and Meli Derenalagi are among those prepared to step up and demonstrate their abilities. Jackson remarked, “We’ve got some pretty good loose forward trios that are fit and available,” highlighting the team’s readiness for the challenge ahead. He also noted the squad’s strength and conditioning, which have kept them well-prepared.
The Drua are eager to secure their first away victory since 2023, following a series of narrow defeats, including a tight match against the ACT Brumbies. This upcoming match presents a crucial opportunity for the team to turn their season around, with fans uniting in support and hoping their resilience and adaptability will shine against a formidable opponent.
With Jackson focusing on discipline and effective management of the game, there is a shared sense of hope that the Drua can take advantage of their new lineup and the backing of their community to achieve a significant victory. This win would not only uplift the team’s morale but also create momentum as they navigate through the Super Rugby Pacific season.
