Iosefo Masi scoring during the home game against Waratahs in 2024.

Couple of changes have been made to the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s match day 23 squad that will take on the Waratahs today with Iosefo Masi being rested due to personal reasons.

This has seen Inia Tabuavou being promoted from the bench and starting at inside centre, moving Tuidraki Samusamuvodre to centre, with star winger Selestino Ravutaumada moving to the bench.

Apart from the changes made, other players named on Wednesday maintain their positions in the match day 23 squad.

According to the Drua, Masi is dealing with family bereavement and he has decided to pull out of this weekend’s match.

The Drua will take on the Waratahs at 2.05pm today at Churchill Park in Lautoka in round 10 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.
