ISSAK Fines-Leleiwasa’s seasoned knowledge of Australian teams in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition will be a vital aspect of preparations for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua against the Western Force, says head coach Glen Jackson.
Jackson spoke of how Leleiwasa’s former stint with the Force would play a key role in determining how to play against the visiting side in Lautoka tomorrow.
“He’s been great since he’s been with us,” Jackson told Times Sports.
“He’s been awesome around the knowledge of Australian (Super Rugby) teams but obviously, when he plays for a club for as long as he did, his knowledge is going to be great around playing against them.”
Leleiwasa featured for the Force over an extended period of time and left it to join the Drua this season.
His inclusion meant the answer to filling the vacancy left behind by former Drua star Caleb Muntz and assist a young backline of players.
Meanwhile, the Drua meet the Force at 4.30pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka tomorrow.
