The Fijian Drua have announced the departure of 21-year-old center Waqa Nalaga from the team. In a succinct statement, the club confirmed that following due process, Nalaga is no longer with the Drua but declined to provide any further details regarding the separation.
This unexpected announcement has raised questions about the circumstances of his departure, leaving fans to speculate whether Nalaga left on his own accord or was released by the club. The timing is particularly surprising given that only recently, on November 21, he was featured prominently in promotional materials for the upcoming Super Rugby Pacific season, which includes seven home games.
Waqa Nalaga also made headlines recently after earning his first international cap for the Flying Fijians on November 2, when he took the field in a match against Scotland. Although the Drua have not commented further, Nalaga’s potential could still shine in future opportunities, whether in another club or by continuing to represent Fiji at the international level.
In summary, while the reasons for Nalaga’s departure remain unclear, this situation opens up opportunities for him to explore new paths in his rugby career. The Fijian Drua’s commitment to building a strong team suggests that they will continue to focus on their upcoming season with renewed energy and talent.
