The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will close out their 2026 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season with another major milestone when they face the Queensland Reds in Round 16 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane this weekend.
Hooker Zuriel Togiatama is set to make his 50th appearance for the club, becoming only the sixth player in Drua history to reach the milestone.
The powerful front-rower marked his 49th appearance in style last week after scoring his first-ever try for the Drua and will now run out in his landmark match against the Reds.
The Drua have also welcomed back several experienced players for the final match of the campaign, with Tuidraki Samusamuvodre, Peni Ravai and Etonia Waqa returning to the matchday squad.
In the forwards, Meli Tuni starts at loosehead prop alongside Togiatama at hooker and Samuela Tawake at tighthead.
Veteran lock Isoa Nasilasila will make his 64th appearance for the club and partners captain Temo Mayanavanua in the second row.
The loose forward trio sees Vilive Miramira at blindside flanker, last week’s Home Basics Player of the Match Kitione Salawa at openside, while Elia Canakaivata returns at number eight.
In the backs, Issak Fines-Leleiwasa keeps his place at halfback and will combine with Kemu Valetini at flyhalf.
A reshuffled backline has Taniela Rakuro shifting to the left wing while Manasa Mataele starts on the right wing.
Isikeli Rabitu has been named at inside centre for his 25th appearance for the Drua and will partner returning midfielder Samusamuvodre in the midfield. Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula has been named at fullback.
