Peni Ravai, an experienced loosehead prop, is feeling the competitive spirit among the younger players during training sessions with the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua. Having joined the team this season from the Reds, Ravai is currently focused on regaining his fitness after undergoing rehabilitation.
Known affectionately as ‘Big Ben’ by his teammates, Ravai has acknowledged the impressive talent within the Drua’s forwards, particularly among the props, which include Haereiti Hetet and Emosi Tuqiri. Despite his veteran status, Ravai recognizes that he will need to work diligently to secure a starting position, especially as he contends with younger and more athletic players.
With the Drua set to kick off their campaign next Saturday at 3:35 PM at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, Ravai is eager to contribute to the team’s success. His commitment and hard work serve as a testament to the strong competitive spirit within the team, which can only enhance their performance on the field this season.
This excitement for the upcoming match adds a hopeful dimension, as Ravai’s determination embodies a positive outlook for both him and the Drua team. As he prepares for the new season, fans can look forward to seeing how the blend of experience and youthful energy shapes their journey.
