Vitalina Naikore is making a triumphant return to the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua for the upcoming 2025 Super Rugby Women season. Her comeback is part of a strategic effort that includes six other new signings, among them notable Fijiana 7s stars such as Raijieli Daveua, Rusila Nagasau, and Alowesi Nakoci.

Head Coach Ifereimi Rawaqa expressed pride in unveiling the 2025 squad, emphasizing the crucial role that the inclusion of experienced players like Naikore will play in nurturing a young and developing team. “This is a growth year for this squad as we continue to build depth and introduce new, young players to top-level competition,” Rawaqa stated. This year is significant as it leads up to the Rugby World Cup, making the development of proficiency in the squad especially important.

The squad also faces challenges with some key players currently unavailable at the season’s start. However, the returns of experienced athletes such as Bitila Tawake and Kolora Lomani, alongside Naikore, bring much-needed stability and mentorship to the young roster.

As the Fijiana Drua prepares to take on the Waratahs in their Super Rugby opener at Allianz Stadium on February 28 at 5:05 PM, fans can look forward to an exciting season filled with new talent and seasoned leadership.

The Fijiana Drua’s squad has been thoughtfully assembled to foster both competitive spirit and sportsmanship, setting the stage for what promises to be an inspiring season ahead.
