There is a lot of talent in the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, and they are playing well in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

This was stated by former England Rugby’s number 8 Nathan Hughes.

He says the inclusion of the Fijian Drua side into the Super Rugby Pacific competition has allowed a lot of the young players and the local boys to be exposed to the big stage.

Hughes says when you see these players play, they play with a lot of flairs and most importantly with a lot of pride.

He says it is quite good that you see the local boys shining on this stage.

Hughes had earlier expressed his interest to play for the Flying Fijians at the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France later this year.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Brumbies at 9.35 tonight in their round 8 Super Rugby Pacific clash in Canberra.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will meet the Reds at 4.05pm today, Hurricanes take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm tomorrow, and the Waratahs play the Western Force at 9.35pm tomorrow.
