Injuries continue to trouble the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, with Captain and scrum-half Frank Lomani ruled out for the next three weeks, while Ponipate Loganimasi and Epeli Momo have been sidelined for the rest of the season.

This was shared by Fijian Drua coach, Glen Jackson from Auckland, New Zealand, during an interview with fijivillage Sports today.

He also revealed that Simione Kuruvoli is dealing with an injury concern but is expected to return within the next few rounds.

Jackson added that with a short turnaround, the team is focused on finalising the right squad to face the Crusaders.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Crusaders at 6.05pm Friday at Apollo Stadium in Christchurch.

In other matches, the Chiefs will face the Waratahs at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Reds will meet the Force at 8.35pm.
