Commentator Ken Laban says the entry of Fiji Drua into Super Rugby as well as players overseas means Fiji now has 27 professionals in its squad, and it’s showing.
He says its more than just professionalism.
There’s also a tikanga aspect as well. You know their waiata and their karakia, that’s part and parcel of everything that they do. A very, very humble and grounded group. They deserve to be the toast of the rugby world cup for sure.
Ken Laban says world rugby would love it if the Fiji Drua advanced to the next round.
