The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have signed explosive Nadroga centre Kavekini Boselawa as a Senior Development Player after impressing new Head Coach Brad Mooar and Club officials in Round 1 of this year’s Skipper Cup competition.

Boselawa’s signing is yet another example of the Drua creating clear pathways for talented local players to progress into Super Rugby Pacific, and a nod to the strength and competitiveness of Fiji’s domestic competitions.

A latecomer to the fifteen-a-side code, Boselawa initially excelled in soccer throughout his primary and secondary schooling at Nadrala Sangam School and Sigatoka Methodist College.

It wasn’t until his tertiary studies in Land Surveying at the Fiji National University at age 19 that he first pulled on a rugby boot.

He carved out a formidable reputation representing the Nadrala Rugby Club Bay of Plenty and provincial team Nadroga.

He caught the eye of the incoming Head Coach with his physical prowess and adaptability in Lautoka during Round 1 of the 2026 Skipper Cup.

Fans can catch the Club’s latest recruit this Friday at Lawaqa Park as Nadroga take on Navosa in Round 5 of the Skipper Cup Competition.
