The Fijian Drua have named their co-captains for the new Super Rugby season.

Lock Temo Mayanavanua and halfback Frank Lomani will share the role.

The pair say they have a lot of history.

"I first met Frank when we were in the academies and stuff," Mayanavanua said.

"He's still the same person, still energetic; his leadership skills are second to none as well."

The Drua's 2026 Super Rugby campaign kicks off on 14 February, against Moana Pasifika.

It's the first of several matches the Drua will host in Fiji, including match-ups against the Hurricanes, Highlanders, Brumbies, Reds, Force, and Waratahs.

Fiji's Western town of Ba will host its first-ever Super Rugby Pacific fixture, when the Fijian Drua take on the Brumbies at the newly opened Four R Stadium on 14 March.

Formerly known as Govind Park, Ba's Four R Stadium features a new 9,000-seater stand, multiple change rooms, and corporate hospitality facilities, in the town the Drua said is traditionally a football powerhouse.
