The only Drua match to attract a larger audience remains their 2024 quarter-final showdown against the Blues, which recorded 382,726 views.

Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans highlighted the achievement as a testament to the team’s growing fanbase and the increasing popularity of Super Rugby Pacific in Fiji.

Meanwhile the Fijian Drua will face the Hurricanes in round 2 of the 2025 Shop N Save Super Rugby season at 3.35 pm this Saturday and you can watch it LIVE on FBC Sports.
