The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be having two warm-up matches before their first appearance in the Super Rugby Pacific competition next year.

Drua CEO Brian Thorburn says the warm-up games will be played on the 28th of January and the 10th of February.

He says this will be against the Western Force and the Rebels.

Thorburn says the Rebels game will be in Melbourne while they are still working on logistics for their match against the Western Force.

He adds this match will either be held in Northern New South Wales or Southeast Queensland.

Meanwhile, the Drua side is in Australia preparing for the start of the Super Rugby season.

The Drua will open their Super Rugby Pacific campaign against the Blues on the 19th of February 2022.
