Swire Shipping Fijian Drua prop Kaliopasi Uluilakepa is excited about their Super Rugby match against the Brumbies tomorrow and is ready to lock horns with Wallabies prop Alan Alaalatoa.

The 23-year-old has been named in the starting line-up and will also be making his Super Rugby debut against the Brumbies.

He says he can not wait to lock horns against another islander.

Uluilakepa adds the first person he called after his selection was his sister.

Uluilakepa attended Marist Brothers High School where he played for the Under 18 team in the Secondary School Deans competition.

He was part of the Fiji Under-18 side in 2017 and moved on to represent the New Zealand Under 20 in 2018 and 2019.

One of his achievements is being part of the Hurricanes extended squad for the 2020 Super Rugby season.

The Drua will meet the Brumbies at 3.35pm tomorrow.

In other Super Rugby Pacific matches, the Crusaders will face the Highlanders at 6.05pm today, the Waratahs will face the Reds at 8.45 tonight, the Blues will take on the Hurricanes at 6.05pm tomorrow while the Rebels will face the Force at 8.45pm tomorrow.
