The Fijian Drua are gearing up for their showdown against the NSW Waratahs with renewed energy as Etonia Waqa makes his return after a nine-month recovery from injury. Waqa’s previous season contributions left a significant mark on the team, and his rejoining the selection pool could elevate the team’s performance in this vital match of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.
Despite the positive news regarding Waqa, head coach Glen Jackson mentioned some challenges ahead as they will be without key players Frank Lomani and Iosefo Masi, both sidelined due to ankle sprains. Jackson reassured fans that while it’s unfortunate to lose these crucial players, their injuries are not serious. “Lomani has a sprained ankle, and Masi is also sidelined with a sprained ankle. While it’s unfortunate to lose two of our pivotal players, we are hopeful for their quick recovery,” he remarked.
Further bolstering the squad, Selestino Ravutaumada is also nearing a return from his own injury, promising to add strength to the lineup. As the Drua prepare for this important game set for Friday, they have a solid chance to demonstrate their strength and adaptability against a formidable opponent like the Waratahs.
Fans are buzzing with excitement as they look forward to seeing how the team harnesses its determination and the return of key players to potentially secure a much-deserved victory. The combination of fresh energy from Waqa and the anticipated return of Ravutaumada offers hope for the Drua’s performance. The team’s resilience and strategic depth could play a crucial role in their efforts as they aim to achieve success on the field and capture the support of their dedicated fanbase.
