The Fijian Drua franchise club has confirmed the return of flanker Joseva Tamani. The former Flying Fijian and Drua star back-row was a part of the Drua’s first squad and featured prominently in the 2022 and 2023 Super Rugby Pacific seasons.

The man from Ovalau departed the Drua at the end of the 2023 season to join Colomiers Rugby Club in France’s Pro D2 competition. He has now returned to the Fijian Drua and is already preparing for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season.

Tamani has made 24 appearances for the Drua, scoring six tries. He also has two appearances for the Flying Fijians.

Fijian Drua chief executive Mark Evans said: “It’s great to have Joe back home. He’ll bolster our loose forward stocks and will be a great asset to draw on as we prepare for the 2025 season.”
