The Rise of the Drua is a story in words and pictures of a new dynamic in the life of Fiji. It is a tale of courage and commitment, and of triumph over significant adversity.

This book traces the effort that went into establishing the Fijian Drua, the obstacles that had to be overcome, and the extraordinary resilience of players and staff that saw quick success.

Importantly, it is also the story of how a nation responded to the Drua, and how the passion of the people made the team a national entity to bring new pride and new enjoyment to Fijian life.

It reflects a surging optimism in Fijian Rugby, and looks forward to a sustained new level of international pride that it will bring for the nation.

We hope you enjoy the book.
