The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are shocked at the racial abuse suffered by halfback, Frank Lomani during Friday night’s match against the Rebels in Melbourne.

The Drua says clearly there is no place for racism of any kind anywhere.

The franchise says they all have a duty to protect players and staff from situations which go against the values of our game.

The Drua says they are thankful to the Melbourne Rebels for reaching out with an apology and for assuring them that an investigation to identify the person(s) at fault is underway.

They note that the Super Rugby Pacific officials are also independently assessing the matter.

The Drua are also providing Frank Lomani with the support he needs at this time.

They add that the actions of one or two individuals will not affect the warm relationship they have with rugby fans in Melbourne, which is truly one of the world’s great sporting cities.

They will return to Melbourne at 7.05pm this Saturday as the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua women take on Rebels women in the crucial final round of Buildcorp Super Rugby Women.

The Drua look forward to meeting and engaging with as many fans as possible at AAMI Park on Saturday.
