Nemani Nagusa has been given the role to captain the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua for the Super Rugby Pacific Competition that starts next month.
Nagusa has captained the Fiji 7s Team and Fijian Warriors.
Coack Mick Byrne says Nagusa has the ethics and qualities of a leader.
Nagusa says he is delighted and thankful to lead a young team in one of the toughest rugby competitions in the world.
