PLAYER
OF THE
match
Kalaveti Ravouvou
An outstanding performance from the powerful yet skilful centre. Most runs, most metres and most defenders beaten. He also set up 1 try and was a handful for Moana Pasifika all afternoon.
Ravouvou was later voted Super Rugby Pacific MVP for Round 13 by fans.
other top performers
Apisalome Vota
Two tries to his name and also 12 tackles. Api has solidified his place in the side over the course of the season and is now in the frame for a Flying Fijians jersey.
Meli Derenalagi
The gift that keeps on giving. Meli is in a rich run of form where he climbs the ranks in Fiji Rugby.
He led the team well in their second win. Constant work at the breakdown, big hits in defence and churning out a game high 14 tackles.
Preview
Moana Pasifika are slight favourites heading into this match.
Fijian Drua head coach Mick Byrne has selected what looks like his best lineup with Onisi Ratave and Vinaya Habosi manning the wings while Kalaveti Ravouvou and Apisalome Vota in their usual centre pairing.
Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta starts at 8 while Meli Derenalagi captains the side. Nemani Nagusa returns and is on the bench for this matchup.
Kaliopasi Uluilakpea returns to the side also and will come off the bench.
The Drua suffered their worst loss of the season against the Hurricanes last week and will look to bounce back in their first ever clash with Moana Pasifika.
It is also a special day for Fiji born Timoci Tavatavanawai who will start on the wing for Moana Pasifika.
Review
An entertaining match between two sides who were happy to throw the ball around.
The Fijian Drua were huge in the scrum and at the breakdown. The created several turnovers and were surprisingly more disciplined with ball in hand.
Their staunch defence forced a few errors and they pounced when the opportunity presented itself.
Going forward there can be no doubt as to what the strongest backline looks like.
Zuriel Togiatama looks to have sewn up the starting hooker spot. His throwing accuracy is a clear winner at the moment.
Mesulame Dolokoto at flanker is also paying off for head coach Mick Byrne.
