Ponipate Loganimasi has been named to return as a starter on the right wing for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in their upcoming Super Rugby Pacific match against the Blues, taking place at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva tomorrow. Loganimasi will be making his comeback after missing recent matches, while Coach Glen Jackson has retained most of the squad that narrowly defeated the Queensland Reds 36-33 in last week’s encounter.
In the ongoing 2025 season, Loganimasi is notable for having achieved the second highest number of clean breaks at 18, matching Corey Toole of the Brumbies. His impact on the field is expected to be pivotal as the Drua prepare for their clash against the defending champions.
This match also marks a significant opportunity for Sailosi Vukalokalo, who is set to potentially make his Super Rugby Pacific debut from the bench after recovering from a long-term injury. His inclusion represents a strategic depth to the team, alongside the notable absence of nine players who have been added to the injury list.
In a preparation that echoes the Drua’s previous successful match against the Queensland Reds, the team looks forward to harnessing this blend of returning talent and experience against their challenging opponents. The match kicks off at 7:05 PM.
The fans remain hopeful, rallying behind the Drua as they aim to build on their momentum from prior performances, hoping that the combination of youth and experience leads to another thrilling match that strengthens their standings in the Super Rugby Pacific season.
