A devoted Swire Shipping Fijian Drua fan made the journey from Perth, Australia, to witness the team’s match against the ACT Brumbies at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva. Semesa Rogomaicake, who is originally from Suvavou Village near Suva, expressed his deep commitment to the Drua, stating that he has attended every game since he began supporting the team five years ago.
Having lived in Australia for 48 years, Rogomaicake returned to see the Drua play at home and expressed hope for a victory. “I would like them to just win it since it will be played at home; it would be great,” he shared. Despite his enthusiasm and the support of a sold-out crowd of 10,000 fans, the Drua faced a tough challenge, ultimately falling to the ACT Brumbies with a close score of 36-32 in their first Super Rugby Pacific match.
The passion displayed by fans like Rogomaicake highlights the community spirit surrounding the Drua, showcasing the loyalty and pride that Fijians have for their team, even when faced with difficult outcomes. This unwavering support is crucial as the Drua continue to compete in the Super Rugby Pacific and aim for future success.
In summary, while the match did not end in victory for the Drua, the dedication of their fans remains a source of inspiration, reflecting the vibrant sports culture in Fiji.
