Drua Women Stick to Winning Style for Grand Final Showdown

The McDonald’s Fiji Drua Women's rugby team is sticking to its winning formula ahead of the Super Rugby Women's Grand Final. Despite the NSW Waratahs strengthening their lineup with key players like Wallaroo Caitlin Halse, Drua Head Coach Mike Legge stated his team anticipated these changes.

“

It’s no surprise. The team that they’ve selected, we expected those things to happen. We knew Caitlin Halse was going to come straight back in the lineup because she’s a quality player.

"It doesn’t change anything for us. We’re still going to play our style of rugby. We’re going to make sure we stick to our process and hopefully that will take care of things," he added. Legge acknowledged the Waratahs' consistent dominance in the competition, calling them the benchmark since the Drua joined Super Rugby Women's.
