The Fijian Drua's performance in the Super Rugby Pacific has been gaining attention, particularly with the rise of young player Taniela Rakuro. Described as 'Caucau-esque', Rakuro, who scored 4 tries in 7 games during his debut season, has been highlighted for his electric play and potential to establish himself as a professional player this season. The Drua, who finished 11th in their first season and 7th in their second, are being watched closely to see if they can continue their upward trajectory, similar to the Jaguares. Rakuro's performance was notably impactful in the Drua's recent match against the Brumbies in Canberra earlier this month, where he played a key role in the team's first-half blitz.
