Swire Shipping Fijian Drua lock and 2025 Player of the Year Isoa Nasilasila has extended his contract with the Club through the 2026 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.

The Viseisei, Vuda native is one of only two players to have made 50 appearances for the Fijian Drua. Nasilasila was recognised for his professionalism, work ethic, and consistency at the recent Annual Drua Awards.

Since joining the Drua in 2022, Nasilasila has become one of the competition’s most dependable performers, missing only eight matches in three seasons.

Internationally, he has earned 21 caps with the Flying Fijians and featured prominently in Fiji’s 2023 Rugby World Cup campaign.

“I’m very excited to extend another year with the Drua,” Nasilasila said. “I started my journey with them and with the team and management that are there heading into 2026, it looks very promising and I can’t wait to see what will unfold.”

Fijian Drua General Manager Rugby Baden Stephenson welcomed the re-signing.

“The Club is thrilled to re-sign Isoa for next year,” Stephenson said. “He sets high standards, consistent behaviours, works hard and cares deeply about the Club. Isoa’s durability and professionalism are trademarks that he takes very seriously.”
