Fijian Drua start training on home ground for the first time

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have started their training at the Vodafone Arena in preparation for their first home game against the Highlanders at the ANZ Stadium.

The first session was expected to be held at Albert Park however the venue was shifted to the Vodafone Arena due to bad weather.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says they are looking forward to playing in-front of the Fijian crowd against the Highlanders at 4.35pm Saturday.

Byrne says the players will enjoy being back home after so long but he is certain that they will be prioritizing preparing for the Highlanders match.

To win the tickets and a jersey, all you have to do is download the fijivillage app from Play Store or App Store, take a screenshot and post it on the fijivillage Facebook page with the #DruaNation.
