Crusaders' midfielder and Fijian-born Jone Rova won't be lacking support today from the stands as his family flew in from Auckland last night just to come to watch him potentially making his debut against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in round 3 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition today.
Mika Rova, the father of Jone Rova, says they as a family, are excited to be back home and watch their son make his debut.
He says they expect Jone to be sticking to the basics today and just play his role out there when given the chance.
He adds it is going to be an interesting game, as both teams are coming in with 2 losses, but he feels the Crusaders will have the edge over the Drua today.
Mika says the Crusaders have a very experienced team and also some exciting young guys coming off the bench, including Jone.
He further says it will be a close game, but the Crusaders will get the win as the weather is favourable for them as well.
The Drua will take on the Crusaders at 1.05pm today at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
