Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s outside back Inia Tabuavou is raring to kick start the new Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season with his side and experience what it feels like playing in the competition.

The 22-year-old says the transition from playing in the French Top 14 competition to coming back home and training with the Drua has been great so far.

He says the opportunity to return home has been exciting and the players, staff management and the people working at the club have been welcoming.

While talking about the trial match against RFC Los Angeles tomorrow, Tabuavou says this is a historical one and the players have been looking forward to it.

He says they are excited about this match as it is the first ever for the two teams since they play in two different competitions.

The Fijian Drua will take on the RFC Los Angeles at 3pm tomorrow in Churchill Park Lautoka.
