THE inclusion of the Fijian Drua team into Super Rugby competition from next year is a financial and economic saviour for Fiji amidst the global infection of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fiji’s participation in the annual tournament, regarded as the most entertaining rugby competition on the planet, is expected to rake in more than $15 million annually to the country.
New Zealand Rugby, on Wednesday, announced that a conditional licence has been awarded to the Fijian Drua, which will be a separate entity from the Fiji Rugby Union, to play in the Super Rugby competition from 2022 onwards.
