“I saw the new format and saw the how and how exciting. I’m looking forward to playing the Brumbies here at home, and yeah I’m looking forward to that first home game here in Suva. We’ll take that one game at a time, build through the preseason, and our offseason and get our game plans right. I look forward to all our games next year.”

For their home games, the Drua will be facing the Crusaders, Brumbies, Reds and Blues in Suva, while they play the Chiefs, Waratahs and the Western Force in Lautoka.

The Drua currently sits in seventh place in the table standings ahead of the Melbourne Rebels with 26 points.
