Swire Shipping Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans says it is quite humbling to be hosting defending champions, the Crusaders in Lautoka.

In an interview with fijivillage News, Evans says Fijians have been watching Super Rugby for so many years and to have a full season in Fiji and the first game could not have been better opponents.

Evans says the sitting capacity will be close to about 13,200.

He further says when compared to last year, there has been a lot of variation in the Drua’s game with the forwards also getting their fair share of tries.

The Drua will face the Crusaders at 3.35pm today.
