Could Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s Kemu Valetini start at No.10 against the Hurricanes in Saturday’s Round 11 clash of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash in Suva?

The 28-year-old who kicked over winning penalty in the 25-24 win over the Crusaders in Round 3, looked a composed figure when he took over from Teti Tela in the final 15 minutes of the clash against the Blues.

His touchline conversion for Elia Canakaivata’s second try was superb and could be Drua’s answer when it comes to getting a reliable kicker.

As the Blues tried to run away, Valetini’s conversion gave the 15,000 crowd hope that the home side could pull a late flourish to tame the high flying Aucklanders.
