Goals coming into this season are to try and improve on the performance from last year as well as win the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific title.
Swire Shipping Fijian Drua lock, Isoa Nasilasila highlighted this to fijivillage Sports from their home base in Nadi saying competition for the locks position has gotten a lot tougher now.
Nasilasila says there is a lot of competition from Mesake Vocevoce, co-captain Temo Mayanavanua, Joseva Tamani, Vilive Miramira, as well as newly signed former Melbourne Rebels lock, Angelo Smith.
He says this keeps everyone on their toes as they have got a lot more depth now which is really good as no one is guaranteed a spot.
The lock forward who has also played flanker thinks he might be a bit slower this time around.
