PLAYER
OF THE
match
Selestino Ravutaumada
Selestino Ravutaumada is always amongst our busiest players and this match was no different. Great work off the ball putting pressure on the Reds kickers and several big carries to get over the gain line. Ran for 57 metres, 1 off the match high.

Iosefo Masi
Iosefo Masi exploded in the 2nd half as the Drua mounted their customary comeback. He scored a try, made 3 clean breaks and ran a match high 58 metres.
Frank Lomani
The Drua halfback put in another strong performance. He had 100% with the boot kicking all his conversion attempts including 2 from out wide.
Is proving to be the catalyst for much of the Drua’s creative play.

Preview
The Drua come into this match on the back of a big win over the Crusaders in Lautoka. The focus according to coach Mick Byrne is consistency and belief.
Much of the talk has been if the Drua can back up and put in a solid performance.
Joseva Tamani was a late withdrawal, shifting Meli Derenalagi to flanker with Elia Canakaivata coming into number 8 while Vilive Miramira plays his first match of the season.
