Swire Shipping Fijian Drua flanker Joseva Tamani says it is good to be back home and playing in front of their fans after spending a year in France.

Tamani stated this to fijivillage Sports after their 33-26 win over MLR team Rugby Football Club Los Angeles yesterday.

He says nothing beats playing at home, especially having family, friends and fans coming to watch them.

The lanky flanker says he really noticed the difference playing in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific and in France.

With two weeks left till the start of the new season, Tamani says he will be working on his fitness, speed, and strength.

Tamani also says it was good to see the rate that the development players are progressing at as some of them could be debuting very soon.

The Drua host the ACT Brumbies at the HFC Bank Stadium on the 15th of next month in their first match of the season.
