With the Super W title in the bag, Rooster Chicken Fijiana Drua and Fijiana head coach, Senirusi Seruvakula, is focused on the task ahead.

The no-nonsense coach said the next stop for them was the Fijiana Test matches against the Australian Wallaroos on May 6th and Japan on May 1st.

"To play and beat the Waratahs is a big build-up to the test match against the Wallaroos in Brisbane," he told FRU Media.

"This is what we need for the players to gain confidence as we prepare for the world stage (Women's Rugby World Cup - New Zealand from Oct 8 to Nov 12)."

Seruvakula highlighted that it had been a learning process for the players, and the coaching staff as well.

"For the players, it's important to listen while for us coaches it is patience. Now we've to work hard, make sacrifices and go back to basics," he said.

The results will take care of itself and the impossible becomes nothing, he added.
