Fisher: All focus on Super W

McDonald’s Fijian Drua Women vice-captain Alfreda Fisher is hopeful that tomorrow’s Super W pre-season clash against the NSW Waratahs at Suva’s National Stadium is going to test their defence.

Hailing from Taveuni, Fisher captained the Vodafone Fijiana XV side in the 2026 Oceania Rugby Women’s XV Championship where they recorded convincing wins over Samoa and Tonga.

She said her off-season preparation had gone well after being part of the Fijiana XV squad for the Oceania Championship.

“The lead-up to Super W has been good,” she said.

Fisher said the new players in the Drua side are eager to prove themselves as they take on the defending Super W champions on Saturday.

“Everyone is excited, especially our new players who are stepping up for the Drua,” she said.

“We are looking forward to a tough match against the Waratahs.”

Fisher added the side cannot wait for the start of the Super W season with back-to-back home matches scheduled at King Charles Park in Nadi.

The Drua Women will begin their season on the road against the NSW Waratahs at Leichhardt Oval in Sydney, Australia, on June 6.

The opening clash is expected to be a high-stake encounter between two of the competition’s strongest rivals.

Following the season opener, the Drua Women will return home for consecutive matches against Western Force on June 13 and the Brumbies on June 20. Both matches will be played at King Charles Park, marking the first time the venue will host consecutive Drua Women’s (Super W) home games.

The regular season will conclude on June 27 when the team travels to Brisbane to face the Reds at Ballymore Stadium.

Tomorrow’s pre-season clash kicks-off at 1pm
