Swire Shipping Fijian Drua captain Tevita Ikanivere says they owe it to the fans.

Ikanivere stated this to fijivillage News saying even though they lost 42-10 against the Force in their round 12 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific game last week, when they turned up to their hotel there were at least 200 fans there to meet them.

He says they want to thank their fans for turning up every week and supporting them.

The 24-year-old says the Reds have been playing well and they are looking forward to today’s game.

On playing against Serupepeli Uru, Peni Ravai and Suliasi Vunivalu, Ikanivere says it will be good playing against them.

The Drua play the Reds at 2.05 this afternoon at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In games played last night, the Hurricanes beat Moana Pasifika 32-24, the Chiefs edged the Rebels 26-23.

In other matches today the Crusaders host the Brumbies at 4.35pm, the Blues take on the Highlanders at 7.05pm, and the Force play the Waratahs at 9.35pm.
