On the latest episode of their MG Motor Carpool Convo, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua players Haereiti Hetet, Mesulame Dolokoto and Philip Baselala answer questions from their fans.

Dolokoto says his favourite memory from the 2023 season was their win against the Crusaders in Lautoka as it was one of the greatest games he has ever played.

He says growing up, the Crusaders were one of the best teams and to beat them at home in front of the crowd, was unreal.

Baselala says his favourite memory was his debut against the Melbourne Rebels.

Hetet says his favourite memory was playing the Chiefs in Hamilton where all his family lives.

When asked on which home game they are looking forward to play, Dolokoto says the 1.05pm kick off, because normally their games start at 3pm with their fans getting home late at night.

Hetet calls for fans to come to the Drua games as they have not yet had a sold out game, and also Dolokoto will give his jersey after the game.
