Fijian Drua co-captain Mesake Doge expressed the team’s determination to remain humble following their thrilling 36-33 victory over the Queensland Reds in Suva last weekend. As they prepare to host the Auckland Blues this Friday, Doge acknowledged the importance of refining their game ahead of this challenging match.
Doge, reflecting on the hard-fought win against the Reds, shared that there are still several areas for improvement. He emphasized, “As our coach said, we need to work on everything. There are small things and niggles we need to fix to get us better for the Blues arriving here.” Despite acknowledging the Blues’ inconsistent season, he reiterated the need for caution and focus, stating, “One day at a time, and we’ll build again toward Friday.”
This significant clash marks the Drua’s chance at securing back-to-back home wins for the first time in their history. The match is scheduled for 7:05 PM at HFC Bank Stadium and will be broadcast live on FBC Sports. Coach Glen Jackson also expressed excitement about the match, emphasizing the crucial support from the passionate home crowd, which they hope will energize their performance.
The matchup against the Blues, who recently secured a win against the Western Force, is seen as a key opportunity for the Drua to build on their momentum and confidence. Fans are optimistic about a potential turning point in the season, as the Drua look to harness the support of their community in this competitive season.
This game not only represents a chance for victory but also embodies the spirit of Fijian rugby, leaving fans with a sense of hope and enthusiasm for what lies ahead. The Drua are eager to continue their journey and convert their recent success into a continuing positive momentum.
