Fijian Drua set to make historic Super Ruby Pacific debut

From , 6:00 am on 16 February 2022

This Friday the Fijian Drua will mark a new chapter in the Pacific Island country's proud rugby history as they run out at the CommBank Stadium in Parramatta, Western Sydney to play their debut Super Rugby Pacific match against the New South Wales Waratahs.

Although players of Pacific heritage feature in almost every top tier of professional rugby team in the world it has been a long and difficult journey getting the Drua to where they are today.

Our Fiji correspondent Lice Movono sat down with Fiji Rugby CEO John O'Connor to talk about the significance of the debut.
