The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will host five matches in Lautoka’s Churchill Park while two matches will be played at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

The Drua says the venues have been finalised after extensive discussions with venue owners and considering a number of important factors and key among them is the unavailability of the stadium in Suva until April 2024 due to upgrade of the athletic tracks.

Lautoka will host three Drua matches in March, as the home side welcomes back defending champions the Crusaders on the 9th, the NSW Waratahs on the 23rd and the Western Force on the 30th.

The matches against the Waratahs and the Force will be double headers, with the women’s teams also clashing as part of the Super W competition.

The Drua then take on the Hurricanes in Suva on the 19th of April and return to Lautoka the following week to take on Moana Pasifika in the battle of the Pacific on the 27th .

They will then host the Queensland Reds in Suva on May 18th before returning to Lautoka for the final regular season match against the Melbourne Rebels on 1st June.

The Drua will open their 2024 Super Rugby Pacific campaign against the Blues in Auckland on February 24th, 2024.
