Mark Evans, the chief executive of the Fijian Drua, has made a heartfelt appeal to both fans and stakeholders to maintain their support despite the team’s struggles this season. In a video message, Evans expressed his disappointment regarding the team’s performance, which has included only two wins amid several challenging losses. He acknowledges the frustration that fans might be feeling but emphasized the importance of solidarity during tough times.
Recognizing the resilience of Fijians in facing hardships, Evans urged the “16th man”—the fans—to keep their faith alive in the team. He highlighted the need for collective support among players, coaches, staff, sponsors, and fans as the Drua prepares for critical upcoming matches at home.
This Saturday, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will host the Queensland Reds at 2:05 PM in an important fixture of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific. The event will also feature the Wallaroos Test against the Vodafone Fijiana 15s at 5 PM, both of which will be broadcast live on FBC Sports.
The recent challenges mirror sentiments shared by head coach Glen Jackson, who has pointed out the necessity for the team to muster the focus and execution needed to close out matches and convert potential into victories. The Drua’s loyal supporters provide vital encouragement as the team strives to turn its season around, highlighting the strength of unity and shared hope.
As the Drua looks ahead, there remains a sense of optimism that their dedication and resilience will lead to improved performances, and this could be a pivotal moment for regaining momentum in the Super Rugby Pacific season.
