The inclusion of Fijian Drua players in the Flying Fijians team is shaping up to be a valuable advantage as they gear up for their first test against Scotland on Sunday. Coach Mick Byrne emphasized the positive impact of having a majority of Drua players on the roster, highlighting their contributions during the recent Pacific Nations Cup.

Byrne reflected on the performance of these players throughout the tournament, noting that several have gained significant experience and excelled on the field. He expressed pride in the young Drua athletes, many of whom have realized their dreams by donning the Flying Fijians jersey this year.

“It has been a remarkable year for these players, many of whom might never have imagined they’d represent the Flying Fijians,” Byrne stated. “Each time they’ve taken the field, they’ve risen to the occasion and performed impressively.”

Their commitment and dedication in training have prepared the team well for the upcoming challenge. The Flying Fijians face Scotland at 5:40 AM on Sunday at Murrayfield, Scotland, with another match against Wales scheduled for November 11 at 1:40 AM at the Millennium Stadium.

This situation not only showcases the talent emerging from local leagues like the Drua but also offers a hopeful glimpse into the future of Fijian rugby, where young players elevate their performance on an international stage.

Overall, the blend of local talent and experience within the Flying Fijians is promising and could pave the way for a competitive showing in this testing series.
