Fijian Drua head coach Mick Byrne has applauded the hard work put in by the players in his side in particular Iosefo Masi who has been making a regular appearance in the Super Rugby Pacific statistics and standings.
This past week Super Rugby Pacific published player stats and had Masi at the forefront for Defenders Beaten and sitting at 4th place on the metres gained slot.
“If you watched Masi on the weekend he seemed to have beaten the defenders, I’m not sure how he does it, it’s like he’s squeezing through a closing door sometimes with a couple of defenders on him but always manages to get rid of them.”
“He’s a pretty strong ball carrier. He’s come on in the last couple of years for us and he’s one of our leaders and learning that part as well, he’s a humble and hardworking guy.”
“I’m pleased that he’s getting recognized around the competition for the kind of quality player that he is.”
Masi is one of the two co-captains alongside Mesake Doge who have been chosen to work alongside regular leaders Ratu Meli Derenalagi and Tevita Ikanivere.
