Counties Manukau Steelers duo Viliame Rarasea and Zuriel Togiatama have signed with the Fiji Drua Super Rugby expansion side for the 2022 season.

They follow the signings of Sekope Kepu, Alamanda Motuga and Mike McKee in the Moana Pasifika side.

Rarasea has been a long-serving lock forward for both the Steelers and club side Ardmore Marist and will provide excellent leadership to the new outfit.

The 28-year-old debuted for the Steelers back in 2013 and has been a regular ever since.

Togiatama has proven a real find since making his Steelers debut last season.

He was thrown into the hooker role and excelled, playing in every game in the NPC. He plays like an extra loose forward and has also come out of the Ardmore Marist club side.

The full squads will be revealed in the coming weeks.
