Teti Tela, the former flyhalf for the Fijian Drua, has congratulated young prodigy Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula for setting a new club record as the all-time leading points scorer. Armstrong-Ravula achieved this remarkable feat during the Drua’s exhilarating 28-24 win against the Chiefs last weekend in Lautoka, accumulating 13 points through three penalties and two conversions, thereby elevating his total to 135 points—surpassing Tela’s previous record of 124 points.
Tela, reflecting on his former record, emphasized that records are meant to be broken and expressed his faith in Armstrong-Ravula’s potential for further achievements. He recognized the dedication required by the young player, noting the sacrifices made during his journey, including being away from his family for prolonged periods. Tela’s words highlight the hard work and commitment that have brought Armstrong-Ravula to this milestone.
The Fijian Drua are now gearing up to challenge the Brumbies at GIO Stadium in Canberra, a match that will be aired live on FBC Sports. The success of Armstrong-Ravula shines a light on a broader trend in Fijian rugby, where young talents are stepping up and making a mark on the international scene.
This momentum, stemming from both the team’s recent victory and the emergence of new stars like Armstrong-Ravula, cultivates a sense of optimism for the Drua’s future. The squad is motivated to build on their achievements, striving to enhance their competitive strength in the Super Rugby Pacific.
Armstrong-Ravula’s story, along with the team’s recent triumph, exemplifies the resilience and fighting spirit of Fijian rugby, suggesting that brighter days and even more accomplishments are on the verge. The journey of these young athletes promises an exciting future, filled with potential and determination.
