Fijian Drua hooker, Tevita Ikanivere, has a bigger sense of responsibility now.

It’s not because he’s a Drua Co-Captain for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season but as a father.

The Drua skipper says he’s excited about his new role.

“It’s very great to have a son, have children a bigger sense of responsibility before I used to do things fdor the family back home, now I got my own little family, I love the life of being a husband and a father now, it gives me purpose and I look forward to coming to work every day because knowing I have to provide and be better for both my son and my wife”

Before having a family, Ikanivere used to stay back with his teammates for a bit before going home, however, he says that’s not the case now.
