'Consistency Is The Way To Go' Says Fijian Drua Halfback

Consistency is an important lesson that Swire Shipping Fijian Drua halfback Simione Kuruvoli has been reflecting on.

Speaking to SUNsports yesterday, he said this was something he had learnt from last year’s Rugby World Cup.

He strongly believes the need to stay consistent if they are to progress in the rugby world.

“As players we have been preparing well and the coaches have been giving us advice, which is very critical,” he said.

Kuruvoli said the Drua is ready to kick start the 2024 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition, which gets underway on Saturday, February 24.

“We have set a target to get a home quarterfinal, that could be getting into the top four and progress from there,” he said.

Kuruvoli hopes he would improve in every match he plays in.

“I’ll probably need to work on my discipline this season,” he said.

Kuruvoli is also hopeful to be considered for the Flying Fijians squad for the Test match against the All Blacks in San Diego, United Sates on July 20.

“Who doesn’t want to play against the one of the greatest teams in the world, so it’ll be good to rub shoulders again more time against the All Blacks,” he said.

“We need more training methods and we’ll progress from there.”

Kuruvoli welcomed the inclusion of the development players.

“They are still young but we are here to help them become better players in the future.

They are blending in well during training.”

The 25-year-old is very grateful to injured first five-eight Caleb Muntz, who is still under rehab, for coming in to help the likes of Kemu Valentini, Sikeli Rabitu and Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula.
