The Fijian Drua has signed a two-year partnership with Anchor which will be fueling the women’s and men’s Drua rugby teams and supporting the wider Fijian community.

“We think this is an incredible partnership and we are looking forward to cheering on the spectacular Drua team and seeing the Fijian community getting behind their rugby team,” Lynne Mason, director of export, Fonterra Brands New Zealand said.

“We want to see as many Drua fans as possible at the games so head to your local supermarket stores for a chance to win match day tickets or to the Anchor Facebook page for the chance to win Drua merchandise (limited time only),” Mason added.

Anchor has proudly been part of the Fiji community for over 40 years, providing nutritious products to the nation, made with the goodness of dairy.

Whether it’s milk, cheese or butter, Anchor has been delivering the very best nutrition in every glass and mouthful for generations.

But Anchor are more than just dairy products, they have been supporting our local community for decades and the Fijian Drua support is just another example of their enduring commitment to Fiji​.

Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans said: “We’re delighted to welcome such a renowned global brand in Anchor into our vuvale (family) of sponsors. Nutrition plays a vital role in the life of professional athletes and the Drua players are no different.

“Our Women’s and Men’s teams will benefit directly from the wonderful dairy range of Anchor for their nutrition requirements as they take on the best rugby players and teams in the world. What’s exciting about our partnership is the Anchor Breakfast Club, which will allow the Drua to engage directly with Fiji students to increase their knowledge about good nutrition, diet and what professional sport is all about,” Evans stated.

Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua men’s side play Brumbies in its first pre-season match at 7.45pm in Canberra today.
