Bring on the Tahs – Ikanivere

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua hooker, Tevita Ikanivere says they are looking forward to their round 5 match tomorrow in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific against the Waratahs as they have not beaten them yet.

While speaking on the latest Drua Village episode on our website, fijivillage, Ikanivere says they came close against the Tahs last year but they slacked off in the last 20 minutes.

He says he is looking forward to getting in there and trying to get the win by doing his part, because he knows everyone else on the team will do their part.

In terms of hardest things about training Ikanivere says preseason training is hard because it involves a lot of running.

When it comes to what gets him hyped up before games or training, the mobile hooker says R Kelly’s ‘The World’s Greatest’ is his go to song.

Ikanivere says his biggest inspirations for him to work hard are his mum, wife and baby boy on the way.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 1.05pm before the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women play the Waratahs at 3.35pm tomorrow.

In other matches, the Hurricanes host the Rebels at 6.05 tonight, the Brumbies will meet Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm, while in tomorrow’s games the Chiefs play the Highlanders at 3.35pm, the Blues face the Crusaders at 6.05pm, before the Force play the Reds at 8.35pm.
