The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has welcomed discussions of a change in dates proposed for the Skipper Cup.

The Super Rugby franchise says the start in February to coincide with the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season is a welcome development, as it allows Drua players to take part in the local competition.

Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans says the club will fully support this proposal from the Fiji Rugby Union.

Evans says this is positive news for local rugby in Fiji and allows consistent rugby content throughout the year.

He adds this would allow members of the extended Drua squad to have much needed game time during the Super Rugby Pacific season and play for their local provinces to further build links along the playing pathway.

The Fijian Drua hopes the provincial unions will support such developments.

The Fijian Drua’s 2024 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season will start on February 24th against the Blues in Auckland.
