Joining the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua was the biggest achievement that prop forward Meli Tuni achieved throughout his rugby career and one that he will cherish the most.The Vuci, Tokatoka, Tailevu man started his professional rugby career with the Suva Rugby Union in the Skipper Cup competition in 2020 after representing the Fiji Under 20s in 2019.
Tuni says though he was faced with a few injuries, that did not stop him from reaching for greater heights.
The 24-year-old says one of his favourite memories in the Drua was when he was named in the match-day 23 squad to face the Crusaders in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific quarter final in 2023 where they lost 49-8.
While sharing his rugby journey with the Fijian Drua, Tuni told fijivillage News that he made his family proud when he was named into the squad in the first season.
He says he was excited when he was named in the matchday squad as it was also a historic moment for the side, reaching the quarter final for the first time in just their second year in the competition.
He says he had a knee surgery after the first season but he thanked the medical team for helping him in terms of rehabilitation and helped him come back stronger.
The Drua’s opening match will be at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, where they will host the Brumbies at 3.35pm on the 15th of next month.
Tuni later joined the Fiji Warriors side for the Pacific Rugby Championship in 2020 before being contracted by the Fijian Drua in 2022.
Tuni and the Drua are expected to return to pre-season training next week for the new season of the Super Rugby Pacific season that kicks off next month.

Within the announcements for College Football 26 and Madden 26, EA put up pre-order bonuses for both games in the dual-game bundle. This revealed the platforms each game will be on, and ended the dream that we might get College Football 26 on PC this year.

College Football 26 will only release on current-gen consoles once again, which means the Xbox Series X/S and PS5. I had been somewhat bullish on College Football 26 making it to PC this year in my sports game predictions article, and while I still feel it’s inevitable it gets to PC, that won’t happen this year. The MVP Bundle (which gets you both CFB and Madden) is also only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, which further cements that information.
College Football 25 was a massive sales success, so that was part of the reason I thought it might make it to PC this year, but since it’s also not going to be on the Switch 2, it seems like EA is keeping the tent small for now. It makes sense if you think about how well the game did on just two platforms, and so EA perhaps does not feel the need to throw extra resources at porting the game to new platforms as of yet.
Regardless, it’s a bummer we won’t get the game on PC this year. The modding scene for the game would be tremendous, but whether for legal or just development reasons, we’ll need to wait at least one more year for that dream to come true.

The Lindbergh High School girls soccer team notched a statement win on April 14, shutting out Union 2-0 behind a dominant performance from sophomore standout Kasey Patten. Patten netted both goals—one in each half—leading the Flyers to victory. She now has three goals on the season for Lindbergh.
The Flyers’ defense also shone against Union, with Mackenzie Bieg and Josie Watz combining efforts in goal to secure the clean sheet. It was the third win of the season for Lindbergh, who had previously defeated Seckman and Jackson on March 25 and April 7, respectively.
With the win against Union, Lindbergh improved to 3-5-1 on the year. As of April 24, Lindbergh sits at 4-8-1.
Despite a losing record, the Flyers have been competitive in a challenging early-season schedule, suffering narrow losses to strong programs like Cor Jesu, losing 1-2, and Rockwood Summit, losing 0-1. Though the opposition has been stiff, Lindbergh head coach Jake Pittroff emphasized the importance of testing his squad against elite competition.
“We’ve been competitive and played in some really tough games. I think we are starting to put things together and play better.” Pittroff said. “I’m a big believer that a team has to be built by playing the best. In order to be the best, you have to beat the best.”
With the postseason looming, Pittroff hopes the rigorous schedule will pay dividends.
“I think the tough schedule helps us,” Pittroff said. “We are getting better technically and tactically. I also think our decision-making has improved, especially defensively.”
The team is led by captain Lauren Smith, who will continue her soccer career at Spring Hill College, a Division II school. Senior Kate Warren also provides leadership and experience, while Danni Cotter, who has tallied four points this season, is set to play at UMSL. Patten, as well as Gabby Moran, who has six points on the season, have emerged as key offensive catalysts.
With a daunting Class 4 district on the horizon, Pittroff remains realistic about the challenges ahead.
“It’s just a powerhouse,” Pittroff said. “It’s one tough district.”
As the Flyers continue to build both their tactical foundation and mental grit, Pittroff is optimistic about where this journey could lead.
“It’s a journey of learning,” he said. “The girls are building aptitude and mind skills, which are life skills they will need to be successful.”
The Flyers faced Notre Dame on April 16, winning 1-0. They next played Webster Groves on April 18, St. Joseph’s on April 21 and Layayette on April 22, losing the three games 0-3, 1-4 and 0-5, respectively.
Lindbergh will face Ursuline Academy on April 25 at 5:30 p.m.
