“The coaches are assessing our squad and we’re working towards looking at where the gaps will be and hopefully there are some players that we can bring into those spaces.”

He adds at the moment they’re focusing on the players that have met Super Rugby standards and warrant their positions in the squad come next season.

The Drua’s recent signing was former Reds winger Ilaisa Droasese.

Today, the Drua takes on Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm and you can watch it live on FBC Sports.
