Fijian Drua lock forward Isoa Nasilasila

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua lock forward Isoa Nasilasila says that being the most capped Drua player comes with a lot of responsibilities and it is indeed a privilege to represent his home country this season.

Nasilasila stamped his mark on the number 4 jersey last season, earning himself 27 caps in total out of 29 games.

The Viseisei, Vuda lanky forward says he will rectify his weakness from last season and improve on it this year.

Nasilasila says he will improve his playing style a bit and become more of a leader in the team.

When questioned by fijivillage News on the excitement of hosting seven home games this year, Nasilasila says he can not wait to get out there and have fun.

They will have one last pre-season trial match against the Melbourne Rebels next week Friday in Melbourne.

The Drua play the Blues in their first Shop n Save Super Rugby Pacific match this season on the 24th of this month at 4.35pm in Auckland.
