Brad Mooar’s Fijian Drua have added seven-Test Flying Fijians halfback Sam Wye to their 2027 Super Rugby Pacific squad.
The 25-year-old hasn’t featured in Super Rugby Pacific since 2023, with Moana Pasifika against the Hurricanes, but has played for Auckland, Counties Manukau, and Hawke’s Bay in the Hilux NPC competition.
The St Peter’s College in Auckland graduate is the son of former Fiji football international Filipe Wye, continuing his family’s sporting connection with Fiji.

Wye, who made his Flying Fijians debut against Scotland at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva back in 2025, said he’s excited to represent the Fijian Drua.
“I’m excited to be part of the Drua Vuvale for the upcoming 2027 Super Rugby Pacific season. I’m truly grateful for this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in next year with the boys,” Wye told the Fijian Drua.
Fijian Drua General Manager Rugby Baden Stephenson said that Wye’s experience in New Zealand will be crucial for the Super Rugby Pacific franchise.

“Sam is an exciting addition to our Drua Vuvale. He is a talented half-back who plays with great energy and has worked extremely hard for every opportunity that has come his way,” Stephenson explained.
“He has developed through a very good rugby environment in New Zealand, has experienced Super Rugby Pacific and has now stepped into the international arena with the Flying Fijians.
“We’re excited about what he can bring to our group. He works hard around the field and has the ability to lift the tempo of a game. We believe there is plenty more growth in him and we’re looking forward to seeing him develop further in the Drua environment.”
