Career tight head prop here. I loved playing in the nasty weather. Favorite match of all time was against a Welsh military team in Oklahoma City (I know that sounds bonkers). At the end, you couldn't tell who played for what side because everyone was covered in mud from head to toe.
Yes couldn't tell what colour jerseys were cause it was so muddy so had to look at their face to recognize them n pass
Fijian wet season for you right here 😊
😂😂😂
Loved the rain as a forward. Not so much when playing in the backs.
I played the wettest game of my career in OK City as well strangely.
The kicking duty by Ravula was a window wiper thru the rain... enormous win for the Drua.
Beating the Force doesn't really count as an enormous win for anyone. The Drua are a great team, beating the Force is just a formality for them.
@@tinymahuta this is the Drua's first time beating the Force in Super Rugby...lowkey a big deal for a team in only its 3rd season
From Italy...football fans dream of a show like this
What about those boots of Ravula, 90% of points today. Wow. Toso Drua
It must've been lit playing in these conditions, wet weather rugby was always my favourite 😅🔥
Yep. Wet weather is the marker for great all-rounders. Hard tracks can flatter players at times; mud and rain and wind sorts that out.
Bro I know. How good was playing rugby in the wet and having to actually put together a team performance? Nothing much better in my opinion
Bloody awesome display from Drua again. They go just as powerfully come sun or rain. Sooo bloody good for Fiji and her people. Rugby wins again!
Ravutaumada has transformed into an absolute try scoring monster since Drua's second season.
And is very good in defense
Are you sure? He just knows to dance but not scoring tries. How many tries has him scored for last two seasons. His try scoring rate is super low. Also, the try this match, he was miles ahead, and should run to the posts instead of scoring at the corner. He has brilliant sometimes, just like Wainiqolo, but not a player who can be a super star.
@@user-tu8ce1dp1j but his defense and
work rate is good,wingers don't just score tries anymore.
@@user-tu8ce1dp1j You sound like a hater. He’s been on fire this season. So far he has 3 tries, second highest for the Drua and leads the competition on most defenders beaten and is among the top 5 for other stats in the competition so far.
@@MarkWhippy exactly
The number 10 of Drua is a great player. Future of Fidji team
Making points and piling them during sinbin is a rare feat...and to go out and win the match against a team that has just beaten the Q-Reds is just awesome...
Jaysus. Good win for the Drua. Calling the conditions atrocious would be an understatement. To be fair to the Force, those Perth lads have probably never even seen that much water, other than at the beach. 😆
It’s actually so fun playing in the wet like this
Drua 10 is fire.
Old school rugby. Hopefully it wasn’t cold too like it used to be when wet at times in Halifax Nova Scotia
Honestly I can’t think of a place in the world I’d rather watch a game live then in Fiji. Exciting team, more excited fans, beautiful location, would be a dream
Welcome to the pain factory, if it’s not the scouring sun, it’s pissing down and Fijians love playing in those conditions growing up.
That looked like a fun match in the swamp
Better than sahara
Loved playing in this sort of weather. I remember winning a 7 - 0 being caked in head to toe in mud and puddles all over the pitch. One of my favourite Rugby memories. Been retired 7 years now and miss it every Saturday
Fabulous to see Drua in the comp.
100% Tony. Drua add enormous passion, as well as power, speed and skill; and therefore top spectator excitement. You gets your money's worth, in my op.
nothing better than a rainy rugby day!!! cheers from ARG!
Still better than playing in the midday heat
Brilliant to watch Drua again this week! Talk about rain! Thought they were playing in Ireland 🤣🤣
Proposing the construction of an international dome stadium in Fiji with a capacity of 25,000 and adaptable to weather conditions for hosting international games in the Pacific region sounds like a promising idea. Such a facility could enhance Fiji's sporting infrastructure and attract more international events to the region, benefiting both the local economy and sports enthusiasts. However, it would require thorough planning, feasibility studies, and collaboration between the government, private sector, and sports organizations to make it a reality.
Sabeto has land capacity to cater for that
Especially if they don't upgrade the stadiums in Nadi and Sigatoka at least
That's a great idea. Would have more tier 1 teams coming over and put in a bid for one of the World 7 Series leg played in Fiji with a new upgraded stadium
💯🔥👍playing sports in the rain was always more fun to me.
Isaiah Armstrong Ravula 🎉 Rookie Of The Year 🇫🇯 ❤
wow, an old-fashioned pitch and conditions. love it
Rugby under these conditions is not pretty to watch, but extremely fun to play.
I thought it was bloody great to watch. Drua weren't hindered by it.
it was decent, but yeah, hard to watch
More fun playing in the rain than in the heat. Favourite childhood memories.😊
ITS A JOY WATCHING THE DRUA.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS

A pesar de la lluvia y cómo se desarrolló el partido, encontré que el ref fue súper preciso en sus decisiones. Hace temporadas que no aparecía un ref bueno
The kick motion of Ravula is just beautiful. The power and precision of his kick is enormous. Good Job Drua
Old School Rugby, before the wimps and weenies took over. Imagine! Rain on a tropical island. Who knew? The Fijians were clearly having a lot more fun in the wet than the Force were. One season we played all but one match in heavy rain. Called ourselves “The Mud Puppies” (points for that reference). Loved tackling the opposition into the drainage pools alongside the pitch. Contest for the biggest bow wave (forwards always won). No point in taking your kit off before showering, as it was already saturated and you had to get some of the mud off first. Great laughs all around.
Just a nice tropical shower at the beginning there... good one Drua.
Kept the dust down, and sent the mozzies away. Made things much more playable.
It's fun to watch, especially in the rain
Regardless of the weather, really enjoyed the spirit of the Game
WELL DONE you Guyz
Ref / Officials included‼️
👊🔥
🪖
Wananavu Drua 🔥🇫🇯
The Western Force have no idea how to play wet weather rugby. I wonder why
That game was liquid
They say that the heat and dry conditions is always to the Drua's advantage , but if it's rainy and wet? Drua just managed 31 points in what some might say atrocious weather condition. Imagine if it was sunny and hot!!
So good, what a superman slip and slide try. Would like to see a side on of tiatias try tbh, looks like he dropped that, didn't have control. Just needing to be in contact with the ball by some degree these days is average
Playing rugby on top of the ocean 🌊 with surf board 😅
Goddamit how good are the Fijians. Robbed at the world cup.
TOSO DRUA TOSO!! 💪🤝👏🤙
My condolences to the groundsmen who were quite possibly getting drunker and drunker as the game,and the rain,went on and on. What a nightmare to deal with come the start of the working week.
Pretty good game
The Fijian dancing Rasta man on the Wing is 🔥😂 he loves playing on these conditions
MUDBY (Mud rugby), What we use to call it. Also an opportunity for players to just slide like the guy behind the try scorer at 1:45. 😂😂😂
Teams were complaining of the heat 🥵. So Super Rugby Pacific did their homework _ they booked the rain! 🌧 🌦
no one here thinking about the poor ground keeper :D he is going to have nightmares fixing that pitch for the next event
Island rugby fun!! Mud and all 😂
Hats of to the #10...very good preformance and Salestino's consistency again vinaka to the Management
Such factors does not affect us when we play rugby, rain, cyclone, lightning....tsunami...
Dau, tsunami 😂😂😂
Sa vo ga na earthquake 😂😂😂
It is why Fijian warriors make such superb SAS troopers. From an old Brit who knows it. They suffer with a big smile and fight like tigers defending their cubs (mates).
We even play rugby inside an active volcano 😂
Ice man Ravula 10
Hurricanes Vs FijianDrua SemiFinal 2024!
Soko Drua!
And some idiot named Paul Cully or whatever his name is said conditions were unplayable, Force couldn't adapt and the home side literally had to bring out an actual Drua to sail all over the paddock with literally wet sails. 😉
Just another rugby game in Fiji during the wet months November-April. 😁
Ye I saw that he is an idiot 😂this is the best conditions to play footy
Lots of idiots in the commentator buisness Sami😉😊.
See, this is what I call wet weather football.
❤❤
👍👍👍
Rugby in the rain> rugby in the scorching heat
The kitman has now a lot work to do 🤣
Gotta love the monsoon season
Players took their after match bath during the game
00:25 that bounce though hahahaha
House of pain Lautoka😊
FORCE MUST GET SOME SOUTH AFRICANS PLAYING FOR THEM
The fact that we lost Etonia Waqa is sad mann this kid a weapon on Druas Sailing .....speed recovery Tagane.....
Fiji needs a capacity stadium of more than 70+ 000 grandstand sitting..
The weather thecmost rain I have seen
Manager of Force, “please take off your uniform and leave it in this bag, it’s not coming with us…”
1:45 one way to celebrate your teammate's try
Old school mud fest!
These bots everywhere
Every other team is like i hate playing in lautoka 😂😂
Watched this game. Fiji drua players put there body on the line at home
The rain was a treat for the Force, or else.......who knows.....Toso Drua ❤❤❤😅😅😅😊😊😊
Whose here again in 2024❤
With one men red carded the Drua went to their set piece and basically Suffocated the Western Force. Thanks to the boots and strategic plays of Ravula
Good win but the Reds 😂😂😂😂
Lautoka has become a burial ground of overseas teams
I can't believe they let them play on that pitch. At school, playing with concussion or broken bones was normal but a waterlogged pitch was a no go due to the risk of drowning if a scrum collapsed or you got caught at the bottom of a ruck etc. It was literally the only health and safety rule we had.
even the toddler wont get drowned from that much water
@@johndexter9922 I think you're confusing drowning with swimming 😆. If anyone ended up face down in one of those puddles with hundreds of kg's of Rugby player pinning them down they could have been in a lot trouble
You could still turn your head even if 2 big guys lay on top of it...I know!
@@epeliberenage6676 I'm not sure that answer would satisfy the insurance company that has to cover the risk.
Lol
Hope no one drowned in the breakdown...
How was it not a red card for clear out
Bro it was upgraded to a red...why are you still crying????it is what it is..luckily it wasn't a hot sunny day..where the the body turns red and pink from the heat..
@@ilisonitarakubusa-hh1eh I only saw the highlights. I didn't say anything about the weather. That's for your comment
Deux passes interceptées, y a des réglages à faire pour les Highlanders,
Farce.
Nobody wants to play the Drua in Fiji.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Super Rugby Pacific is just a mess
Coming from you?
Let me guess you’re South African 😂 Still butt hurt from being cut from the comp I see lol
Let me guess you’re South African😂
Gee that's poor tackling and defense by the Pacific team. Blues lads must think they better than what they are. Won't be truly competitive if this is the standard they measuring and testing themselves against. What a complete walk over. How do Blues fans even watch this. It's boys vs men. No contest. Might as well watch paint dry.
Blues fan?? You mong
@@booey28he's on the wrong video
Know your teams before sounding stupid ❤
He’s South African 😂
This is a huge problem for NZ rugby, losing the SA franchises and replacing them with lesser quality teams, infrasctucutre and audiences etc...
Super rugby is going to struggle to make much money going forward, if SA leave the rugby championship that could be the end of NZ and Aus as super powers
Wow! Another South African thinking that the rugby world revolves around them lol please send down your rugby Gods to bless us with your rugby knowledge
South Africa scraped through the WC and NZ were robbed in the final fullstop😅
Not South African lol.
But are you telling me Super rugby has improved since they left?
As a welshman I dont want their clubs in the URC, or want them in the 6 Nations, but when they do itll be bad for NZ
Especially as the Ftench now take all the island talent lol
Playing in these conditions is just nonsense
This is why they call it super rugby... Any weather!!
Search Scotland vs All Blacks 1975😂
looks fun as hell
This ain't soccer
Wimp.
Up the Drua!
Terrible drainage
Needs to be a minimim standard in terms of turf/stadiums. These guys are playing under water and that ground looks like it’s retaining every drop of water applied to it.
Ultimately it undermines quality of playmanship. If the islands can’t improve their facilities they shouldn’t be allowed to participate in a “world class competition”
Look at 4:16. A kick landed landed in a pool of water behind the try line without naturally bouncing out of play as it would have in most cases, instead gave drua and unfair try by virtue of the shittiest ground ever played on.
Way to lower the standards super rugby.
it's interesting to see the game played under different conditions occasionally. The fijians definitely adapted to it better too
Cry 🤣🤣
Cheers keep dreaming mate...all is good .
Womp womp
Yes, let's gatekeep Rugby and kill the sport by not allowing poorer countries to compete. I'm sure the game will prosper because of it 😒
