Some players contracted COVID but those players have recovered and are fit - Thorburn

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua CEO Brian Thorburn has revealed that a few of their players contracted COVID-19, however, all the players are fully fit and have recovered.

He says they managed this by isolating players and also following improved safety practices.

The Fijian Drua will have two trial matches.

The first trial match is against Western Force on the 30th of this month while the second trial match is against the Rebels in Melbourne on 10th February 2022.
