Fiji-born Hurricanes' winger Kiniviliame Naholo knows there will be a lot of pressure playing in front of his family and friends but says that he is fully focused on the task ahead of him.

The 25-year-old says the focus is on playing well against an unpredictable Swire Shipping Fijian Drua side and helping his team win.

Naholo says they are expecting a tough battle against the Drua, especially when they will be playing in front of their home crowd.

He says the Drua will be feeding off the crowd support and also the weather..

The Nadroumai man says he won't be worrying too much about his opposition as he is just focusing on getting the job done for his team.

Naholo says they did not really have a good memory of playing in Suva last year, but they know what to fix this time and come back stronger today.

Naholo is the younger brother of former Highlanders and All Blacks winger Waisake Naholo and will be expecting great support from his village in Nadroumai tomorrow.

The Hurricanes will play the Drua at 7.05pm tonight at the HFC Bank Stadium in round 9 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.
