The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are gearing up for the 2026 campaign with a robust pre-season schedule, announced by head coach Glen Jackson.

Key preparations include a clash against the Chiefs in New Zealand, followed by the Sun Bell Challenge against a Fijian provincial selection side in Lautoka on February 6.

Jackson emphasised that playing the provincial team is crucial for strengthening the Flying Fijians and local rugby.

The Drua will open their 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season against Moana Pasifika on February 14.
