The Crusaders are gearing up for a fierce battle against the Fijian Drua in Suva, knowing they have yet to secure a win on Fijian soil.
With both teams coming off losses, tomorrow’s clash promises to be a high-stakes encounter filled with intensity, passion, and physicality.
Crusaders captain Codie Taylor is thrilled to be back in Fiji but is fully aware of the challenge that awaits.
“It’s lovely to be back in Suva. What can we expect from Drua? A physical battle. I think both teams are coming off tough losses and Drua have had a bye, so I’m sure they’ll be ready to get back out there and put some pride back in their jersey, but we are as well, so it’s going to be a tough match, exciting one, but I’m looking forward to it.”
