Why fans must watch says veteran

Veteran Skipper Select utility back Etonia Roko­tuisawa has urged rugby fans to come out in big numbers and support their clash against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua on Friday, February 6, at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

Speaking to SUN sports, Rokotui­sawa said the Drua and the Skip­per Select teams belong to the people of Fiji.

"These are your teams," the Naitasiri star goalkicker said.

He also urged the Drua officials to have faith in the local-based players.

"To play the Drua is a big boost for us especially the Fiji Under-20 and the High Performance play­ers. It gives them the urge to show what they have to be selected for the Drua."

The Drua has been playing in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pa­cific competition since 2022.

The Skipper Cup players who made their mark for the Drua are the likes of Kalaveti Ravouvou, Vi­naya Habosi, Tevita Ikanivere, Simione Kuruvoli, Samu Tawake, Meli Tuni, Mesake Vocevoce, Mo­tikiai Murray, Elia Canakaivata, Philip Baselala, Tuidraki Sam­usamuvodre, Kitione Salawa and the list goes on.
