The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has officially confirmed today the signing of Tokyo Olympics 7s gold medalist Iosefo Masi.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Drua announced the signing of Masi and Flying Fijians prop Mesake Doge for the next two Super Rugby Pacific seasons.<\/p>\n
Last week Drua Coach, Mick Byrne revealed to FBC Sports<\/strong> that they\u2019ve secured the services of Doge while yesterday we broke the news that Masi was expected to join the team.<\/p>\n Masi also featured for the Fiji 7s team over the weekend at the Duavata 7s tournament at Rakiraki, in Ra.<\/p>\n The Taveuni man was handed a train and trial deals at NRL club, Cowboys, but has returned to Fiji hoping to get his big break with the Drua.<\/p>\n He\u2019s also expected to make the Fiji 7s squad for the World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n Fijian Drua CEO, Brian Thorburn says Doge and Masi will be important additions to the club.<\/p>\n He says Doge is a highly regarded international and his inclusion will greatly bolster our tighthead stocks while our young forwards will also benefit enormously from his wealth of experience in European club rugby.<\/p>\n Thorburn adds that Masi joins the Drua as an outside back, giving them further options in attack.<\/p>\n 29-year-old Doge has been capped eight times for the Flying Fijians.<\/p>\n He joins the Drua from Welsh club Dragons where he spent the past two seasons playing in the United Rugby Championship.<\/p>\n The former QVS student previously played for the Timisoara Saracens in Romania, making 27 appearances, as well as Brive in the French Top 14, where he played 24 matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
