The Fijian Drua are set to embark on a significant pre-season journey to Kadavu tomorrow, marking the first time the team’s preparations will take place away from the mainland. The five-day camp will not only focus on rigorous training sessions but will also include community outreach initiatives, fostering connections between the players and the Kadavu community.
The camp is a source of excitement for both the team and the local residents, as highlighted by the team’s coach. He emphasized the importance of the trip, describing it as a unique opportunity to immerse the players in Kadavu’s rich rugby culture. He acknowledged rugby’s profound influence on the island, where it plays a crucial role in shaping youth and reducing crime rates.
For the Drua players, particularly those from Kadavu, the camp offers a chance to reconnect with their roots while strengthening team bonds. The coach noted that the camp would serve as a valuable team-building experience, allowing the squad to grow closer through shared challenges and the vibrant atmosphere of the island.
As the Drua prepare to depart, Kadavu’s community is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the team, looking forward to the positive impact their presence will bring.
