After a challenging 43-20 loss to the Highlanders, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua co-captain Mesulame Dolokoto has acknowledged the need for improvement, particularly in set pieces like scrums and lineouts. Dolokoto expressed concerns about the team’s execution under match pressure, despite diligent practice over recent weeks.
“While we’ve been focusing on these areas, it has been tough to implement them during games,” he shared, emphasizing that reflection and regrouping is crucial as they prepare for their next match.
The Drua have six regular-season matches remaining, with their next pivotal clash against the Waratahs set to take place this Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka, kicking off at 2:05 PM. The match will be broadcast live on FBC Sports.
Reflecting on previous performances, similar sentiments were echoed by co-captain Tevita Ikanivere after their earlier loss to the Western Force. Both captains have noted that mindset and execution have been significant challenges for the team, suggesting a need for cohesive focus moving forward.
Fans can remain optimistic as the team continues to work hard to address their weaknesses and push for greater performance consistency in the upcoming matches. With the unwavering support of their community and a collective determination to improve, the Drua aim to turn their fortunes around in the remainder of the season.
