As part of the deal, Silver Fern has provided the Drua with a wide range of elite-level training gear, giving the squad a major boost as they prepare for the highly anticipated 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Glen Jackson welcomed the partnership, highlighting the positive impact it will have on the team\u2019s preparation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel very lucky and privileged to associate with Silver Fern. I know they\u2019ve done a lot already with the free ball giveaway with Rebel Sports, and to have them as our supplier of hit shields, tackle suits, tackle machines and a bit of everything \u2014 it\u2019s great to have them onboard.\u201d<\/p>\n
The collaboration builds on previous initiatives between the two organizations, including Silver Fern\u2019s donation of over 20 rugby balls toyoung players at a local competition between the Nadi and Ba Rugby Unions earlier this week.<\/p>\n
