Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head Coach Glen Jackson has highlighted strong leadership and growing belief within his squad following their 24–14 victory over the Highlanders in Round 12 of the Super Rugby Pacific competition.

Speaking after the match, Jackson says the win marked an important milestone for the team, who have now secured five victories this season, but stressed there is still significant work ahead.

The Drua coach singled out several players for their outstanding efforts, including Isikeli Rabitu and Elia Canakaivata, who played his 50th game for the Drua yesterday, noting their influence and commitment throughout the match.

He also commended Mesake Vocevoce for his impact off the bench, as well as the endurance shown by players who completed the full 80 minutes.

Jackson also praised Isaac Fines-Leleiwasa, who was named Player of the Match after another impressive 80-minute performance.

The Drua are on a bye next week and will host the Waratahs at HFC Bank Stadium on the 16th of this month.
