Inia Tabuavou, the new signing for the Fijian Drua, reflects on the challenges of transitioning from rugby in France back to the fast-paced style of play in Fiji. Having played in Europe since his teenage years, Tabuavou acknowledges that adapting to the flowing nature of the game in Fiji will require some adjustment.

“The game here doesn’t stop; it just keeps flowing, so it really requires that stamina,” Tabuavou shared, indicating a need to acclimatize to the local playing conditions, particularly the heat. With the season set to kick off on February 15 against the Brumbies at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, he emphasizes his commitment to getting into top shape before the tournament begins.

Tabuavou aspires to participate in all seven home games while contributing significantly to the Drua as a starter in midfield. He remains optimistic about the exciting journey ahead, stating, “It’s going to be some exciting times ahead.”

This return to local rugby marks a significant milestone in Tabuavou’s career, showcasing not only his dedication but also the potential to bring international experience to the Drua. Fans can look forward to seeing how he adapts and excels in this new chapter.
