It is the love of rugby that Swire Shipping Fijian Drua die-hard fan Seci Tabuagone and his family turned up today to Churchill Park in Lautoka to support the home side against the Western Force despite the rain.

Tabuagone who is originally from Nadi says they are die-hard rugby fans and they don't want to miss a Super Rugby match played at home.

Speaking in the iTaukei language, Tabuagone says they have been supporting the Drua ever since the team was led by Senirusi Seruvakula in the National Rugby Championship.

He says his family’s favourite player is Frank Lomani and Tevita Ikanievre.

He is urging rugby lovers in the country to come down to Lautoka and show their support for the people's team.

Meanwhile, about 20 villagers from Nukubalavu turned up at Lautoka to support Lomani play his 50th Super Rugby match.

The group left Nukubalavu at 5 this morning.

The Drua will take on the Force at 1.05pm today while the Women’s team will play at 3.35pm.
