Swire Shipping Fijian Drua hooker Mesulame Dolokoto says it always gives them a boost to know they have fans all over the world that are coming in to watch their home games.

This is was after Fijian Drua Hospitality and Sponsorships Manager, Lailanie Burnes informed them of a fan that was flying over from New York to watch the Drua home games this season.

Dolokoto says it’s unreal that they have fans flying in to experience the hype, atmosphere and the way the boys play.

He says all the Drua home games in March will kick off at 1.05pm starting with the Crusaders on the 9th and then the Waratahs 2 weeks later on the 23rd.

The hooker calls on people to make sure to bring their children as there will also be events for them to do before the games such as bouncy castles, face painting and so much more.

Drua prop Haereiti Hetet says he is also looking forward to their home games as they have the best fans in the world.

Hetet says their goal is to play for their fans and make every game their best.

The Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific 2024 season kicks off on Friday 23rd February.

The Drua take on the Blues at 3.35pm on Saturday 24th February at Eden Park in their first match of the 2024 season.
