Sereima Leweniqila will be leading the Fijiana Drua in the 2022 Super W competition after being given the captaincy role.

Leweniqila is one of the senior and experienced players in the squad.

She captained the Fijiana 15s side during their Rugby World Cup qualification and also played for Naitasiri in the Women's Skipper Cup competition.

She says it's an honour to captain the side to their first Super W competition and it's been a tough journey for some of the players in the team.

The Fijiana Drua will play their first trial match against the Queensland Reds this Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua will meet the Waratahs in the opening match of the Super Rugby Pacific at 8.45pm Friday.

In other Super Rugby matches, the Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders will play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds will face the Rebels at 8.45pm Saturday and the Brumbies meet the Western Force at 3pm Sunday.
