Those additions come after a 2025 season in which the Drua finished 10th with a 4-10 record, a result that highlighted the need for greater depth and control across the squad.
The updated roster reflects an effort to address those gaps by blending established internationals with players emerging from Fiji’s development pathways.
Moving into 2026, the Drua remain under the leadership of head coach Glen Jackson, with Meli Derenalagi captaining a group based at HFC Bank Stadium.
The roster composition points toward a side built to be more durable across the season while maintaining the physicality and flair that define the team's identity.
