As the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua prepares to take on the Waratahs on home soil, coach Mick Byrne says the combination in the centre is pretty solid.

He says Apisalome Vota and Iosefo Masi have gone through the process, and they are happy with the way they are going in that part of the game.

Vota and Masi will face counterparts Joey Walton and Izaia Perese this afternoon as the Drua hunts for its first win against the Waratahs in Super Rugby Pacific.

Meanwhile, the first 500 children under the age of 12 will get free entry into Churchill Park for the game.

The Fijian Drua take on Waratahs at 1.05 today while the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women’s team take on the Waratahs at 3.35pm at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

In other Super Rugby Pacific matches today, the Chiefs play the Highlanders at 3.35pm, the Blues will face the Crusaders at 6.05pm, and the Force will meet the Reds at 8.35pm.
