Rugby enthusiasts can look forward to an exhilarating match as the Skipper Select XV prepares to face off against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua. This historic encounter, scheduled for February 6 at 4 PM at Churchill Park in Lautoka, aims to bridge the gap between Fiji’s provincial talent and the professional realm of rugby.
The Fiji Rugby Union (FRU) has announced that Subrails will serve as the official sponsor for the Skipper Select XV during this momentous event, reflecting their dedication to advancing the sport in Fiji. Fiji Rugby CEO Koli Sewabu expressed sincere appreciation for Subrails’ involvement, highlighting the match as a significant opportunity for local provincial players.
“We thank Subrails for being part of this historic match between the top players from our provincial competition against Fiji’s Super Rugby Pacific team,” Sewabu said. He emphasized that this match is more than a sport; it serves to connect grassroots players with elite pathways, offering them a chance to demonstrate their skills on a professional stage.
Subrails has established itself as a supportive force in Fijian rugby, previously sponsoring the women’s provincial competition and the upcoming 2025 Subrails Marama Championship, which highlights emerging talent in the sport. The upcoming duel between the Skipper Select XV and the Drua is seen as instrumental in closing the development gap for players in the Skipper Cup and Subrails Marama Cup, crafting a brighter future for rugby in Fiji.
