The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have made adjustments to their lineup for the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match against the NSW Waratahs, set to take place today at Lautoka’s Churchill Park. Head Coach Glen Jackson confirmed that co-captain Iosefo Masi will not participate due to personal reasons, resulting in Inia Tabuavou stepping into the inside centre position and Tuidraki Samusamuvodre moving to outside centre, reflecting a return to a familiar midfield combination.
Jackson expressed confidence in this reshuffled lineup, appreciating the experience and familiarity among the players. Additionally, Selestino Ravutaumada, who has recently regained fitness, will be available as a substitute, providing further depth to the squad.
This encounter is particularly significant for the Drua, who are eager to showcase their abilities and overcome the challenges posed by the Waratahs. The head coach emphasized the importance of this match, urging his players to enjoy the competitive spirit of the game while looking forward to robust support from the home crowd.
Fans can expect to see a display of energy and commitment from the Drua, who are motivated to repay their supporters’ loyalty and enthusiasm. As they take the field this Easter weekend, there is a palpable sense of optimism surrounding the team, as they aim for a strong performance and the chance to build momentum in the Super Rugby Pacific season.
