Injuries continue to trouble the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, with Captain and scrum-half Frank Lomani ruled out for the next three weeks, while Ponipate Loganimasi and Epeli Momo have been sidelined for the rest of the season.
This was shared by Fijian Drua coach, Glen Jackson from Auckland, New Zealand, during an interview with fijivillage Sports today.
He also revealed that Simione Kuruvoli is dealing with an injury concern but is expected to return within the next few rounds.
Jackson added that with a short turnaround, the team is focused on finalising the right squad to face the Crusaders.
He says that former Crusaders winger Manasa Mataele and Joji Nasova, who were rested last week, are likely to start.
Jackson says Mataele’s familiarity with the Crusaders’ style of play is expected to be an advantage as he steps in on the wing.
