The Rise Of The Drua – How A Rugby Dream Captivated A Nation

“World Rugby is delighted to be supporting the Drua success story, outlined so entertainingly in this book. Fiji brings so much to the global game, whether that be men’s and women’s, 15s or Sevens, and you should be proud of your achievements, achievements that inspire millions of young people around the world to get into Rugby.”

-Sir Bill Beaumont, Chairman, World Rugby

“Fiji has produced so many great Rugby players who have had to head overseas to become a professional player, but if the Drua was around many would have preferred to stay in their country and still play at the elite level. This is an incredible behind the scenes story about how the Drua was born, and how it became such a big part of Fiji sporting culture”

-Lote Tugiri, Wallaby great

“Fiji has so much talent on and off the pitch but had no professional team on the islands to help support and develop that. This book tells the extraordinary story about how that all changed with the Drua. It opens up possibilities that just never previously existed. New chapters will be written..”

-Ben Ryan, Gold medal Sevens coach
