Latest Fijian Drua recruit Teti Tela is expected to provide experience in the Drua backline in next year’s Super Rugby Pacific campaign.

Interim Fijian Drua CEO Brian Thorburn says Tela has been part of the wider Flying Fijians set-up for a couple of years, and starred in the famous non-test victory for Fiji over the Barbarians in 2019.

Thorburn says Tela also brings Super Rugby experience to the Fijian Drua, given his stint with the Queensland Reds.

He adds Tela has been a part of the NRC rugby circles in Queensland, and his presence will be hugely beneficial to the many young backs they have in the squad.

The Super Rugby Pacific competition will start in February next year.
