The Fijian Drua, currently at the bottom of the Super Rugby Pacific table, remain optimistic about their playoff chances, according to co-captain Mesulame Dolokoto. With six games left in the regular season, Dolokoto emphasizes the importance of unity and motivation as they aim for a top-six finish.
Dolokoto stated, “Yes, 100%. I believe we can still make it if we turn it around, starting from tomorrow, and we continue through the rest of the week.” He acknowledged the challenges ahead but reassured his teammates that hope is not lost, highlighting the team’s recent hard work despite disappointing results.
This optimism mirrors sentiments expressed by head coach Glen Jackson, who has called for better starts in matches and recognizes individual errors as costly mistakes in previous games. He believes that if the Drua can secure a win against the Waratahs in their upcoming match, it could boost their momentum moving forward.
The Drua’s next game against the Waratahs, scheduled for tomorrow at Lautoka, is pivotal not just for points but also for morale. As Dolokoto and his teammates prepare, the hope is that the home crowd will rally behind them to create an uplifting atmosphere. Engaging their loyal fanbase is seen as crucial in gaining momentum as they push to turn their season around.
The synergy between the players’ determination and the community’s support serves as a source of inspiration, reinforcing the belief that a turnaround is possible. With this energy, the Drua are set to confront their next challenge, hoping it will mark the beginning of a positive shift in their season.
