Fijian Drua v Rebels

The Fijian Drua v Rebels game is scheduled for 8.45 pm (Fiji Time) this Friday, 4 March at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The Fijian Drua get a chance this week to free itself from the bottom rung of the Super Rugby Pacific 2022 standings, having been lined up against the Melbourne Rebels in what is also their first home game of the season.

Like the Drua, the Rebels have also been winless in their last two encounters, but are 11th on the standings, one better than the Fijian franchise, on account of having a better points difference.

Drua head coach and captain Mick Byrne and Nemani Nagusa noted improvements but also the missed chances in their 42-3 defeat by the Brumbies last weekend. The Drua’s only points came from a penalty via fullback Baden Kerr. The Brumbies led 20-3 at half-time.

Fijian Drua defeat Melbourne Rebels in final pre-season match

Fijian Drua have given Melbourne rugby fans a sneak peek of what to expect in the Super Rugby Pacific competition, beating the Rebels 28-26 in a warmup match on Thursday night.

The Drua came from behind in the four-tries apiece thriller at Harlequin Rugby Club in their first and only hit out before taking on the NSW Waratahs in their historic season opener in Parramatta on February 18.

The Fijians opened the scoring inside two minutes through international hooker Tevita Ikanivere and Kiwi five-eighth Baden Kerr converted.

After conceding an intercept try, the Drua retook the lead with winger Kitione Ratu scoring under the posts for 14-7, before Melbourne scored three unanswered tries to take a 24-14 advantage into the final third of the contest.

But the hosts couldn’t hang on, Joseva Tamani barged over after strong forward play and winger Vinaya Habosi scored a length of the field try under the sticks to leave Caleb Muntz an easy conversion for the win.

The Drua – who played in the National Rugby Championship before graduating to Super Rugby Pacific – have based themselves on the NSW North Coast to prepare for their competition debut.
