Atelaite Buna

Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua’s find of the season, Atelaite Buna, is confident they can work hard again and deliver the result in the 2024 Buildcorp Super Rugby Women’s Grand Final in Brisbane on Sunday.

Buna who scored a hat-trick in the semi-final against Western Force says they have to do it again against Waratahs who are the favorites.

She says they’re inspired by their coaching team who left their families, especially in overseas, to come and spend time with them.

The star fullback has scored five tries in three outings for the Drua and will be closely watched this weekend by the Waratahs.
