The Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua side is on bye this week.

The much deserved break gives them time to recuperate as they prepare to face Super W defending champions New South Wales Waratahs.

Their match is next Friday, April 1 with the venue to be confirmed, The Tahs are hosting the game.

The Senirusi Seruvakula coached side are sitting at the top of the Super W table with 15 points following their three successive wins.

Both the Fijiana and New South Wales Waratahs have 15 points from three bonus points wins but the Fijian women have the better points difference.

“There is no excuse not to win the title,” Fijiana Drua Bitila Tawake said.

The Fijiana Drua in continuing their unbeaten run in the women competition had blitzed their way to a convincing victory over the Western Force, winning 45-17 last Saturday.

The Drua scored seven tries in the first half at Leichhardt Oval and were too quick and physical for the Force right from the start.

The Force did lift after trailing 45-0 at the interval, scoring three tries in the second stanza to bring a measure of respectability to the scoreline.

Force Captain Trilleen Pomare rallied her side and reminded the women why they were there and who they were representing – as the Western Australia ladies bravely fought hard to the last whistle.

Like the Fijiana, the Waratahs have won all their matches so far and are looking for their fourth win to maintain their supremacy.

Interestingly, across the pond, the Waikato Chiefs Manawa won the inaugural Sky Super Rugby Aupiki title in New Zealand, when they thumped Auckland Blues Women’s side 35 points to 0.

Laced with so much talent the Chiefs Manawa proved to be too good for their opponents as they round up the season with an unbeaten record.
