The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have announced a two years partnership deal with the Tappoo Group, which sees Pepsi and Gatorade as the official soft drink and sports drink of the Fijian Drua.

Both brands will be a big part of the matchday experience for the team, hospitality clients and fans for Drua’s home-matches.

Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans says they are delighted to add two renowned brands Pepsi and Gatorade through the Tappoo Group to their sponsor vuvale.

He says no doubt Drua fans will have a half-time show to look forward to at every one of the six home games.

Tappoo Group Executive Director Kaushal Tappoo says the sponsorship with Fijian Drua is a glove fit for the two organisations.

He says the Fijian Drua strives to be the best in the competition, and they play the game with finesse and entertainment for the people, and Tappoo aims to deliver exceptional service to customers.

He adds Pepsi and Gatorade have sponsored the Super Bowl, Soccer, Cricket, Basketball, and many more sporting events globally.

He adds the Drua have great talents for the world to see, and they are excited about the potential of the players this season.

The Fijian Drua will meet Moana Pasifika at 3.35pm tomorrow.

In other matches, Crusaders will take on the Chiefs at 6.05 tonight, Waratahs will play Brumbies at 8.35 tonight, the Highlanders will take on the Blues at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Reds vs Hurricanes match will kick off at 8.35pm tomorrow, and the Western Force will take on the Melbourne Rebels at 11pm tomorrow.
