Former Fijian Drua flyhalf Teti Tela has extended his congratulations to young first five Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula, who recently set a new record as the top points scorer in the club’s history. This milestone was achieved in the Drua’s thrilling 28-24 victory over the Chiefs last weekend in Lautoka, where Armstrong-Ravula scored a total of 13 points through three penalties and two conversions, bringing his historical tally to 135 points, surpassing Tela’s previous record of 124.
Tela, who once held the record for points scored, remarked that records are meant to be broken and expressed belief in Armstrong-Ravula’s potential for even more milestones ahead. He acknowledged the sacrifices the young player has made, particularly being away from his family for years, and praised him for his commitment and hard work.
As the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua prepare to face the Brumbies at GIO Stadium in Canberra in their next match, which will be broadcast live on FBC Sports, Armstrong-Ravula’s rise highlights a broader trend within Fijian rugby, where emerging talents are taking on significant roles and showcasing their potential on the international stage.
The momentum generated by this victory, along with the emergence of young stars like Armstrong-Ravula, fosters optimism for the Drua’s future. With a sense of renewed hope and determination, the team looks to build on this success and further enhance their competitive edge in the Super Rugby Pacific.
Overall, the journey of Armstrong-Ravula and the Drua’s recent triumph underscores the spirit of resilience in Fijian rugby, signaling that brighter days and further achievements are on the horizon.
