Fijian Drua winger Selestino Ravutaumada is set to make a highly anticipated return to Super Rugby Pacific as he prepares to take on the Chiefs in Lautoka this weekend. The 25-year-old has been absent from the field for six months following a shoulder reconstruction surgery after sustaining an injury during the Pacific Nations Cup last year.
Ravutaumada’s imminent return is a significant boost for the Drua as they gear up for the crucial round four clash against the current table leaders, the Chiefs. This match will be held at Churchill Park in Lautoka at 3:35 PM and will be broadcast live on FBC Sports. The excitement surrounding Ravutaumada’s comeback is palpable, as he has been a key player for the team and will look to make an immediate impact.
This return comes in the wake of the Drua’s previous seasons where they have shown strong performances at home, including only one loss in seven home matches during the 2024 season. The team aims to replicate that home strength away from home, something Ravutaumada is optimistic about.
As he embarks on this new chapter, Ravutaumada’s journey continues to inspire aspiring rugby players in Fiji. With his sights set on future achievements, including a move to French club Racing 92 for the 2025-26 season, there is a renewed excitement for what lies ahead for both him and the Fijian Drua.
This matchup against the Chiefs represents a chance for the Drua to assert themselves in the competition, showcasing resilience and the growing talent within Fijian rugby. As fans rally behind their team, the upcoming match promises not only to be thrilling but also a potential turning point for the Drua’s Super Rugby campaign.
