One of the most wonderful sights in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific are the crowds at the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua home games, and with the teams celebrating Valetini Day in their round 1 game next Saturday.

With the Valetini brothers Rob and Kemu set to face off for the first time on Fijian soil it is sibling rivalry at its best.

A chance to start the season with a home game for the first time ever, Drua winger Selestino Ravutaumada says it is going to be a cracker.

Ravutaumada says Coach Glen Jackson has changed a few things, especially around their attack.

Brumbies No. 8 Rob Valetini says they are quite happy to play in Fiji and since the draw has been out for a while now they have been preparing really well.

The Drua host the Brumbies at 3.35pm next Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.

Tickets are now on sale from as low as $20 for children with the Laucala Bay/Sea wall grass for $25, concrete embankment at $40, $75 for bronze grandstand, $100 for silver grandstand, $120 for gold grandstand and $180 for platinum grandstand seats.

Next Friday’s games will see the Crusaders hosting the Hurricanes at 6.05pm, the Waratahs playing the Highlanders at 8.35pm.

On Saturday the Blues face the Chiefs at 6.05pm and the Force will take on Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm.

The Queensland Reds will be on a bye.
