Fijian Drua

The Fijian Drua have been boosted by the return of some of their top players for the round 8 clash against the Crusaders in Suva on Saturday.

Halfway through the season, Super Rugby has ditched expectations and crowds are taking notice.

The Fijian Drua men's and women's teams know that they have to "put pressure" on their opponents this this week to get a result.

In Fiji, that interest is particularly massive - so much so that the team is claiming that half the country is tuning in to the Drua's games.

Key decisions at critical moments still stood out for the Fijian Drua as they went down 38-21 to the Brumbies at Gio Stadium in Canberra on Friday.

The Fijian Drua men's team will battle the Brumbies men's in Canberra on Friday night, followed by the Drua women's team taking on Brumbies women's in Lautoka on Saturday.

The FRU chairman says the cargo truck incident involving the Fijian Drua players, along with the events leading up to their clash against the Hurricanes, "is not acceptable at any level".

The Fijian Drua and Moana Pasifika recorded their first wins in the 2025 campaign against two of the competition's most consistent teams.

However, Fijian Drua chief executive says the franchise is moving on, despite setbacks they faced ahead of their game against the Hurricanes in New Zealand.

The messages around the Fiji Drua camp have been simple this week. Play disciplined rugby, do the basics right, take the points, and win the game.

There is no other way for the two Pasifika teams in the Super Rugby Pacific competition but win if they want to finish in the top six at the end of Round 16 and qualify for the quarterfinals.

The two Pasifika clubs recorded their second losses in the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific competition.

Fijian Drua head coach has virtually changed the whole team around for their Round 2 Super Rugby Pacific game against the Hurricanes. Audio

Opinion - They should now should be matured enough to take on the best and finish above the best, writes Iliesa Tora.

There will be a six-team finals format, changed from the usual top eight format, and the Super Round has been shelved, for at least a year.

The rise of the Fijian Drua rugby team and how it has captivated a nation, is now chronicled in a book.

While the club has made improvement on their standing following the regular season, there are still some strong opinions voiced by rugby critics back home.
