Joji Nasova is poised to make his highly anticipated debut for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in their upcoming match against the Hurricanes this Saturday. This marks a significant milestone for the talented winger as he steps onto the Super Rugby Pacific stage for the first time.
Head coach Glen Jackson expressed his excitement about Nasova’s inclusion in the team, praising his quality both as a player and as a person. “Joji gets his debut, we’re excited to see him perform, and it’s going to be great to get him on the field,” Jackson commented.
As the team prepares for this crucial matchup, Jackson stressed the importance of discipline, effective defensive strategies, and maintaining high intensity throughout the match. He acknowledges that the contest will be particularly challenging in the scrum but is confident that the Drua are ready to fight hard on their home turf.
The Fijian Drua will take on the Hurricanes at 3:35 PM on Sunday at Lautoka’s Churchill Park. After two rounds of play without a win, the Drua are eager to secure their first victory of the season. Following this match, the team will have a bye week before returning to action against the Brumbies at 4R Stadium, Govind Park.
With Nasova’s debut and the team’s determination to win, fans are hopeful for an exciting and victorious performance. The anticipation surrounding the match reflects the growing passion for rugby in Fiji and the potential for the Drua to turn their season around. This is a time of optimism for both the players and their supporters as they look forward to the challenges ahead.
