Winger Epeli Momo in action for the Drua against Moana Pasifika

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne has labelled newly signed winger Epeli Momo as a strong ball carrier and has been good for the team.

Byrne says when Momo joined the team, it made him really feel comfortable especially when he is playing for a Fijian team in a professional environment.

He says Momo was a bit quiet when he joined but he started to find the confidence within himself and he has been doing really great for the team.

Byrne says Momo adds to the power out wide on the wing with his strong running and ball-carrying ability.

Momo was signed by the Drua from French Pro D2 club Montauban and has already earned 3 Super Rugby caps for the Drua.

The Fijian Drua Men will take on the Waratahs at 1.05pm this Saturday while the Drua Women will take on the Waratahs at 3.35pm and both games will be held in Lautoka.

In other matches this weekend, the Hurricanes will host the Rebels at 6.05pm Friday, the Brumbies will take on Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Friday, the Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Saturday, the Blues will play the Crusaders at 6.05pm Saturday and Western Force will take on the Reds at 8.35pm Saturday.
