Fiji-born Reds prop Peni Ravai is excited for tomorrow’s Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 13 clash against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua.

The Fiji Water Flying Fijians prop says he is happy to be back home and is looking forward to playing in front of his family and friends here in Fiji.

Ravai says he is also looking forward to meeting his mother tomorrow after the game.

He says the team is loving the weather and the hospitality that they are receiving here in Fiji and they are anticipating a really good game against the Drua.

Ravai will start at loosehead prop, Vunivalu will start on the right wing while Uru will come off the bench covering for the forwards.

The Drua play the Reds at 2.05pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium.
