Ratuniyarawa Earns Fijian Drua Call-Up Ahead of 2027 Season

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has added experienced Nadroga forward and Flying Fijian Manueli Ratuniyarawa to its main squad ahead of the 2027 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.

The Korotogo, Nadroga native becomes the first player from the area to join the Drua, marking a major milestone in his rugby career.

Ratuniyarawa has built a strong reputation through his performances for Nadroga and has represented the Flying Fijians, making his Test debut against Georgia in 2020.

The versatile forward can play at lock and across the loose forwards. He recently featured for Rugby Club Batumi in Georgia, helping the club secure the 2025/26 Didi 10 Premier title.

A former Queen Victoria School student and Fiji National University graduate, Ratuniyarawa said he was grateful for the opportunity to join the Drua.
