The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Men's team has sent their best wishes to the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women’s team after defeating Moana Pasifika 24-17 in Lautoka yesterday.

Speaking in the iTaukei language, Drua Men's captain Ratu Meli Derenalagi says they will be supporting the Women's team as they head into their third Super Rugby Women’s final.

The Drua Women's team is looking to avenge their 60-21 loss during round 2 to the Tahs.

During the jersey presentation last night, the selected players were emotional when their names were called as they reflected on how far they have come as a team and as a family.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has made a personal trip to Australia to support the girls.

The Drua Women play the Waratahs at 4pm today in Brisbane.

In other Super Rugby Pacific Pacific results last night, the Highlanders edged Western Force 7-6 and the Brumbies beat the Hurricanes 27-19.
