Fijian Drua head into the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season with a roster shaped by targeted recruitment and a renewed focus on experienced Fijian talent. 

The return of lock Temo Mayanavanua strengthens the pack, while backline additions such as Joji Nasova and Issak Fines-Leleiwasa add speed and versatility to key attacking positions.

Those additions come after a 2025 season in which Drua finished 10th with a 4–10 record, a result that highlighted the need for greater depth and control across the squad. The updated roster reflects an effort to address those gaps by blending established internationals with players emerging from Fiji’s development pathways.

Moving into 2026, Drua remain under the leadership of head coach Glen Jackson, with Meli Derenalagi captaining a group based at HFC Bank Stadium. The roster composition points toward a side built to be more durable across the season while maintaining the physicality and flair that define Drua’s identity.
