Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson has expressed his enthusiastic support for the young talent Isikeli Rabitu, asserting that the 21-year-old has the potential to become one of the greatest players in the Drua’s history. His comments come in light of the club’s recent announcement regarding three new re-signings, a move that Jackson believes signals a positive trajectory for the franchise.
Jackson delivered high praise for Rabitu, indicating that the inside centre, who is set to start his first match of the season against the Waratahs, possesses exceptional talent. “I think our number 12 this week is going to be one of the best players I think the club’s ever had. To re-sign Isikeli is going to be great; not only for him but that guy is going to be sensational,” he stated.
The coach emphasized the collaborative efforts of the team, acknowledging the hard work from all members of the organization in fostering an environment that encourages players to commit long-term. “We’re doing a great job at this club. From everyone downstairs to upstairs, it’s great to hear people signing and staying,” Jackson remarked.
Rabitu’s physicality, direct running game, and strong defensive capabilities have made him a crucial component of the Drua backline. His commitment to the team reflects the stability the Drua aims to build as they prepare for the future in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition. Fans eagerly anticipate his performance tomorrow night, as the Drua faces off against the Waratahs at 8:35 PM, with the match available for live viewing on FBC Sports.
This commitment to nurturing young talent like Rabitu bodes well for the Drua, offering a hopeful glimpse into a promising future for the franchise and its supporters.
