Fijian Drua's emergence as a potential powerhouse has been the standout story of Super Rugby Pacific – Sir John Kirwan

Former All Black Sir John Kirwan says regardless of the Chiefs' perfect start to 2023, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua's emergence as a potential powerhouse has been the standout story of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

In their second season of Super Rugby after being introduced to the competition in 2022 alongside Moana Pasifika, the Drua have proven themselves to be a thorn in the side of any potential opponent.

Speaking on Sky Sport's The Breakdown, Sir John Kirwan declared the Drua's success this season leaves them head and shoulders above the competition as the storyline of the year.

He says the Drua have done exactly what World Rugby and Super Rugby have asked of them.

Sir John says the Drua have found this balance between playing Super Rugby, but also keeping their Fijian flair.

The Force will host the Drua at 9.35pm Friday.
