The Fijian Drua rugby team is making waves with the signing of players like Taniela Rakuro and Simione Kuruvoli. Rakuro's impressive performances have drawn comparisons to Rupeni Caucaunibuca, while Kuruvoli's re-signing is seen as a boost after other departures. The Sharks have secured a significant double deal, acquiring Springbok players Andre Esterhuizen and Trevor Nyakane for the upcoming season, leaving Harlequins to potentially target Ollie Lawrence. The Drua's rise from 11th to 7th in previous seasons has sparked comparisons to the Jaguares' trajectory in rugby.

Looking forward to seeing what the Fijian Drua bring this season. The young Rakuro looks electric. 11th placed in their first season. 7th in their second season. Can they follow the trajectory of the Jaguares? https://t.co/EBMKftuP9h
