A very powerful runner who contributed immensely to Fiji's winning the 2005-06 IRB World 7s title, but was not able to play in the last leg after suffering a horrific broken arm in the Hong Kong final.

Not as flashy as some of his team-mates, Dranivasa has a high work-rate and has the ability to punch holes in the opposition’s defence. He made his international debut at the Singapore 7s in 2002 after Prisons' domination of the BP Oil circuit in Fiji. Called up again for the Wellington 7s in 2003.

The prison warden then had to wait more than a year before selection again, which came at the France 7s in Bordeaux. He did, however, play under coach Pauliasi Tabulutu when the Fiji Development team won the Chile and Argentina 7s in January 2004.
