Swire Shipping Fijian Drua forward Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta will not be available for the Chiefs clash this weekend.

Cirikidaveta suffered a concussion in the first half of their 34-19 win against Moana Pasifika 2 weeks ago.

Coach Mick Byrne says Cirikidaveta is still recovering from the head-knock and he won’t be considered.

Other players that will not be considered for selection due to injury are Meli Derenalagi, Meli Tuni, Rusiate Nasove and Kalione Nasoko.

The Drua will meet the Chiefs in their final Super Rugby match for the season at 3pm Saturday in Lautoka.

All platinum tickets which cost $145 have been booked while the $95 tickets are selling very fast.

The silver and bronze tickets which cost $35 and $20 are still available.

The $20 tickets can only be purchased at the Lautoka City Council.
