Drua you just starting..those teams have been in that competition for 25yrs..just need to improve in your lineouts,discipline and need to stop our flat attack..but anyway you have been improving in each game and keep it that way Drua..
So cool to see Cam Clark go from playing in the US last year for the MLR to super rugby try scorer.
Dude played for the waratahs before heading to the US
Good moves by Brumbies. Couple of Fiji 7s star names there so Drua have a lot of talent to tap going forwards...

Only tap going forward is the yellow card tap
Drua were much better in this game than they were in their previous game against the Brumbies where they lost 42 - 3. They really could have won this if it wasn’t for the small errors and unnecessary offloads. They would have been right in it.
Lomani should to stop taking quick taps every single time, it made sense when the Drua couldn’t win their lineout, but they can now. Glad he was called out for grabbing the halfbacks shorts, unsportsmanlike and unnecessary. Right when the Drua were going to win a scrum turnover as well.
Ratu obviously has no kicking game at fullback. The sooner Veitokani comes back the better.
Derenalagi played very well. Thank god Ratave was in their as a late replacement, I can’t understand why the coaches have been leaving him out of the team and even then would put him on the bench. Hopefully his performance has opened their eyes. The referee was pretty harsh against the drua early on, spotted any lineout from the Drua that wasn’t straight but ignored the Brumbies ones.
And that fact they seem to average one yellow card in the first 20mins every second game.
Someone need to tell the Drua to stop playing the ball around the 22m area, and to calm down on the tap and go.

Typical Fijian player mentality. 7s style. This needs to change

@@annablle1874 Caita ga nomu only fans
The DRUA CAN COMPETE in the world’s toughest comp,, You must remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.. They will improve as time goes on,
Wish all the best #Team Drua for your bye next week and the rest of your games
It should be bye bye for the Drua 🙈
This has been 25 years in the making FRU have been knocking on the SANZAR DOOR to let it open for a Fijian team to be involved.. and all those 25 years wasted by never implementing a program in our forwards play structure etc and this what happens when fiji given an opportunity they all have culture shock in forward play Then it will take another 25 years from now on to learn again
Agreed. Player mentality needs to change.
Relax they are trying there best.
@@zacsufie4860 that's true 👍🏻
Fiji Drua may need a good defensive coach. Their defense is improving but probably need to maintain it for the full 80...
come on coach..shave matawalu as the starting half bck
It's time to bench Lomani.
Nic Berry is the Brumbies 16th man every game.
Those mauls are a killer !
Lol mauls should be banned
@@LakeShow2022 lol go watch another sport.
Go watch NRL then
Lol yall goofy Af.
Yeah Drua and Moana Pasifika will need to be up to speed on their discipline and rolling maul defense, lineouts too sorely needs improvements while both teams try out nearly everyone in their respective squads during their turbulent debut season.
They need to have civilization

Drua only one try or two just for show in each game is not enough. We need wins to move up the table. One or two lost games is ok, but a consistent losing streak is unacceptable. You’ve got the natural physique and the running capabilities . Work on your teamwork and other weaknesses. Get rid of those lazy ones , don’t care who it is .
No set piece plays frm the drua , runs it straight once ball is in hand & this lomani he needs to rest for the nxt game pls ,should've bring on matawalu.
But good game thou boyz , onto the next.

I write similar last night for the Highlander Samoa game... Rugby Union is no longer a game to enjoy. 6 tries last night,,, four tonight from rolling mauls. Forget defence.. there isn't one. The set up puts the ball in the hands of a player two players back from defenders,,, they can't get at him, they can't bring him down or concede a penalty try and the defending team can't commit as many players to the maul as the attacking team because if they leave their wide defence short it's easy for the ball carrier to break away and go around them. If anyone thinks this is a spectacle then you really need to reconsider your view of rugby. The 2 Fijian tries were things of beauty.. running rugby not pack wrestling. World rugby have got to resolve this or all tries will be scored this way.
This is typical of the Brumbies, most of their tries last year were scored from rolling mauls. Fiji should work on their patients and discipline though, so they don’t get into a position where they have to defend a lineout like this.
mauls went through a phase a few years back until teams learned how to defend it ......simple -if no defenders join the maul then they can come from anywhere and tackle the ball carrier....the attackers can even get penalized if they get in front of the ball carrier (obstructing tacklers)
This is why I believe only some drua players (maybe 7 players) are cut for international level. Doing OK for your first year but not catching high ball's, bad line-outs, bad handling, dropping ball's, missing tackles etc is baaaasic. Nick Berry is a pathetic ref but still could've scored more points if only the ball had been kept.
It's a scratch side, just like Moans Pasifika. The Drua's main strengths are also their weaknesses: playing 7s-style rugby with 15 players. Their running and passing game is thrilling to watch, but their set piece is poor and defensive discipline often lacking. It's the same story with Fiji's national side, in fairness. If the Drua's coaches can build some strength in these areas they could be a genuine threat, rather than just an entertaining side-show. Only future seasons, with some proper preparation, recruitment and skills development, will really tell.
@@Formakiwi Disagree mate, that's where the European based players come in. The Fijian Scrum is pretty solid at national level with props playing for top teams in the north. Plus, Matavesi playing for Northampton Saints is not an easy feat & he is Fijis first choice hooker, just need Dolokoto to improve at line outs. They did show how solid their set piece is at international level when they scored a penalty try from a maul against the All Black's among other things they did well. Only positions imo that Fiji's national side needs more depth in is 1st 5 & Fullback 15. Currently only Ben is there so it's good that Teti is getting regular game time for the drua. Also hoping chiefs FB Emoni Narawa will play for Fiji & add some depth with Tuicuvu at FB.
The Fijian Druids
jinana!
The Brumbies are pretty climical. Going to be interesting to see how they execute against the Crusaders and co
Get thrashed again by the kiwi teams
@@andyanderson5326 let's hope not. The game needs decent contests, otherwise more people will switch off. Like the Crusaders dominance of NZ, the lack of resistance from Aussie Super teams has been killing the sport for the last 6-8 years.
@@Formakiwi no the sport is far from dying and kiwi teams have been thrashing everyone for well over a hundred years. Thrashing Aussie teams is a kiwi tradition that kiwis understand and look forward too. No mercy to the Aussie rugby teams sorry bro.
@tahs15NZ have beaten Australia in every sport they play lol and we have a fraction of Australia’s population 😂 how does that feel ?
Drua losing their shape and form. Coaches and players both need to step up. Inexcusable that Drua can't defend rolling mauls and win their own line outs. Also some bone headed decisions to take a tap in their own half, indiscipline at costly times and handling errors. Cmon guys you need to really up your game now
Their lineouts were a lot better in this game and this is typical of the Brumbies. Most of their tries last year were scored from rolling mauls.
Agreed. Fiji has talent however intellect is something of a shortfall in players these days
Can Lomani make some wise decision or even wait for the captain to make his decision when the penalty is given
Lineout maul = Excitement Plus
the empty stadium is pathetic
1- Fiji Rugby Union still can’t figure it out
Its not the players fault that we have all this issues in maul and lineout etc etc
2- We all know Fiji loves running rugby but remember its 15s not 7s . FIJI RUGBY UNION should start A SPECIAL PROGRAM focusing from age group grassroots etc ABOUT FORWADS PLAYING by starting a FORWADS ACADEMY specialising in Forward play
3 - Its an easy fix ( come on FRU)
4- FRU must focus on these key things .i.e. Forward playing.. its been Fijis problem since Rugby started in Fiji
5- The Rest of the WORLD KNEW THAT .. If you want to beat Fiji you
have to target their forwards and they’ll become bored and tired and lazy comes after
But still FRU can’t figure it out and relying on our athleticism to win games by chucking ball around..
Sorry it’s not 7s rugby its 15s rugby where Forward have to win collisions and keep tight and grinding all day then our fast backline can topple any team ..
COME on FRU
6- Every Overseas FLYING FIJIANS Coach employed by the FRU BEFORE and again now Vern Cotter its only one thing they emphasised its the FORWARDS .. Forwards play is Fijis biggest problem
7- When those Overseas left of course they write a report etc etc and hand it to The FRU Head Office but all ignored
8- To sum all things up If FIJIAN RUGBY WANTS TO COMPETE THEN FIJI NEEDS TO RUN A PROGRAM or start a Forwards academy very simple easy to fix
Wake up FRU
Great pointers..if only our positive criticism reaches FRU 😄
Great post.
Unfortunately, this has been the problem with Fijian teams for decades. I can remember back in the mid '80s, when one of the most talented Fiji teams ever (Laulau, Severo Koroduadua, Salusalu, Savai ...) was starting to get regular internationals with not only Aus/NZ but also European teams. They came close to beating Wales in the UK, which would have been huge for Fijian rugby at the time, but stupid mistakes in the forward play kept letting the team down.
Fiji needs to hire a specialist forwards coach for the NT, and also start putting more emphasis on disciplined play from an early age. Too many Fijian kids grow up playing 15s as if it was Sevens, and never learn proper breakdown discipline until theyre in their 20s. That has to change.
@@k-matsu That’s right it has to change now .. when I say now from tomorrow FRU needs to have a emergency meeting at the FRU Headquarters Suva 10 am and have a discussion on this FOWARD PACK PROBLEM as top of the agenda on their meeting otherwise the DRUA will follow SUNWOLVES and JAGUARS will be booted out from the competition because of UNDERPERFORMENCE
This SUPER RUGBY IS A RUTHLESS COMPETITION FRU sponsorship everyone should move faster and adapt quickly.. otherwise as I said Drua will be kick out of the competition which will be very sad
Tom Wright plays better as fullback than winger
Great game Drua. However, what I don't understand is the fact that for 90+ years Fiji has played Rugby and still can't master a lineout or contest lineouts. There has been no improvement or fluidity in a set piece move either.. #tosoDrua
It all goes back to coaching, Drua coach Mick Byrne has never been a lead coach. He has always been a assistant skills coach because of his AFL background, he has never played a game rugby in his life. If you want the drua to succeed change the coach, and bring in a coach that will concentrate on their line out and set piece. If the drua fix those areas they will be dangerous.
@@jonlomas834 Yeah, Seruvakula was just that.... Probs why the drua were a different team back then. I don't blame the players. Current coach is just bringing in the wrong game plans.
Hardly the coach’s fault that the Drua players are struggling with set pieces and defence. These are meant to be professionals. They need to start acting like pros, and getting the basics right. It doesn’t matter how many flashy tries you score if the opposition can put two or three times as many points up, just by using the maul and swinging the ball wide. Three defenders standing upright will never stop an eight or nine man rolling maul.
@@rexyhouser1872 Absolutely... Probably the reason why they won the Australian NRC. Seruvakula is the right person to lead the side. This coach is clue less that he even brought in a retired Baden Kerr into the squad!?!?
@@jonlomas834 you cannot blame the coach, for basic mistakes including throwing crooked balls during line out, this is something that is developed at an early stage when playing grassroots rugby, this shows that Fiji provincial and development rugby is lacking in this area, lineouts, scrums, mauls and needs to be developed more to help players when they enter professional rugby
if you knock it on/forward to your own player who then catches it then plays the ball, isn't that a penalty?
Anyone else hate rolling mauls?
when drua didn't have anyone contesting the rolling maul, why isnt that obstruction?
Not as long as the maul stays bound
@@austinmauger1724 to their own team?
I agree with drua and Moana upping their standard. But how about sending them players that actually came from the islands. Wait, that might just mean, the Aussie and NZ clubs will need to up their game against such an ideal islands team
I am convinced that Fijian rugby, as a culture generally, really hates set piece moves. They know how to do them, but they don't emphasize them. Why? They live ball in hand. LIVE IT.
Compare this to the Moana Pasifika game this week and to me, it becomes clear: Moana will become a more complete Super Rugby side sooner than Drua simply because Fiji rugby doesn't emphasize set piece, they emphasize ball in hand. Some of Moana's defensive sets against the Highlanders mauls were excellent. The Highlanders just have a team BUILT for set piece forward play and little else, wing talent notwithstanding.
This game shows that the flair of the island teams is evident, but their discipline in other aspects of the game is woefully lacking. Fijian Drua is going to develop slowly because of that, unless they get serious QUICKLY.
That’s because the Moana team are mostly all Kiwi’s, they’ve come through NZ rugby schools and Bunnings Cup. They also have some experienced forwards like Jack Lam, Henry Stowers, Ray Nuia, Visinia who have been playing for Samoa and professional rugby in Europe for years. Even Kepu and Lealiifano from the Wallabies. Compared to the Drua who have all new players mostly straight out of Fiji. This might be better for Fiji development in the long run though, because they’re developing new players.
Kinda agree, this ball in hand style only works sometimes, and lots of times they lose the ball when they try and play fast sevens style offloads, they have to focus on structured and set piece rugby to progress, their open flair rugby is exciting but inconsistent because it becomes predictable, they need a structured foundation, other teams are realising eg rebels, that when they pressure Fiji, their ball offloads style of rugby ends up in miss passes, lost balls, turnovers etc
Which is why it was always going to be a really tough debut season for them
True ..Fiji Hates set piece since rugby begins in Fiji and the FRU ignored this problem all the way.. They need to have a long term vision im order for parthways coming through that they are taught all this technical and structured play within the forwards.. every game of rugby the Fowards set the platform..solid engine room to grind all day then backline will flourish
FORWARDS ACEDAMY IS THE SOLUTION
AT the moment FRU doesn’t have this long term vision.. THERE VISION is only up to there stomach
HOPE FRU can see this problem and fix it.. otherwise we gonna keep on wasting $$$$ paying overseas coach to coach FIJI
BETTER if they spend money to hire development coaches from overseas to come and coach local coaches…
@@ocean3176 Fair and insightful 👌
The top Fijian players are playing in Europe...
Doesn’t matter
You're wong.
Island teams don’t have an answer to rolling maul drives from lineouts
I'm pretty sure two of those driving maul tries were illegal
JAGUARES SHOULD BE PLAYING IN AUCKLAND AS MOANA DOES
Enjoy watching the Drua, they need to be a bit more pragmatic though. Take a hit and recycle at times, I get they have an offloading style but have a plan B. Gotta keep working at that set piece defence too, major weak spot.
Sure wish Aussie announcers would learn how to pronounce ”Drua”
We dont blame Japanese commentators for butchering every name, or the French, its just dialect
How is it pronounced?
Here we go, an Austronesian language linguist specialist in the house. Do you specialise in Malayo-polynesian languages? You sound like a learned man. Tell me more.
@@elgordo9031 Look, the people who chose the name even EXPECTED that some might struggle with the "ND" sound that Fijian spelling spells with just a "d". So they DELIBERATELY named the team "Fijian Drua" rather than "Fiji Drua" (which, in Fijian, is pronounced "fiji andrua") so that nobody would leave out the "n" sound.
And yet announcers STILL screw it up?
It isnt as if Australian announcers havent had enough opportunities to figure that out yet with names like "Nadolo" (nandolo), "Dakuwaqa" (ndakuwangga) or perhaps most obvious -- "Radradra" (randrandra).
In case it still isnt clear, "Drua" is pronounced with a "n" sound before the "d".
NDRUA
@@k-matsu cool
Very disappointing crowd. I don't care about whether or not these are local teams - get in to watch it!
Was at the game the no.9 for the Drua plays like it's still the 1980s throwing dummies from the scrum and in general play. If they had better passing from the rucks, and mauls they'd get better go forward. Really need to replace him, his passing was so up & down - if it was any other team it would be laughable.
Set! Learn and move on!
Drua will only win if it's scrum improves
Driving maul just like sheperding, it should be banned
Another hiding Fiji !
Great teams, crappy ref, Nick Berry no good.
Man, maul tries are boring asf
Rugby git to stop the rolling maul it kills the game!!!!! Every game now is catch and drive so boring to watch.
stop moaning and watch league....its like a simpletons version of union
New Zealanders has been complaining about this for years and we were told to get over it.
