The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are seizing every opportunity to test their footing ahead of their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season and are particularly excited about their participation in the 13th McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s this Thursday.
Excitement is building as the countdown begins for their debut in this highly anticipated tournament.
Coach Glen Jackson says the team is prepared for the challenging task ahead, acknowledging its daunting nature.
“We’re very honoured and privileged to be able to play in it. I know it’s an amazing Sevens series that is creating a lot of excitement around it. We have a very good team, so we’re excited to be part of it. We’ve got a good young team that have been playing Sevens already, so hopefully we can put up our best foot forward.”
