This Saturday will be something different as the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua play their first Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific game in Ba.

Drua coach Glen Jackson highlighted this from their base camp in Nadi, saying that while it is amazing to play at Lautoka and Suva, the facility at Ba is world-class. 


Jackson says it is something different not only for the players, but also for the spectators.

He says on Tuesday, when the players arrived, they were buzzing around as a lot of the boys had not been there before.

The Drua coach says that seeing a world-class facility in Fiji like that is a credit to the Ba Town Council. 

The Drua play the Brumbies 3.35pm Saturday at 4R Stadium, Govind Park, Ba.

In other games, the Hurricanes will meet the Force at 6.05pm Friday, the Crusaders will face the Highlanders at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds play the Waratahs at 8.35pm while the Blues meet Moana Pasifika at 2.35pm Sunday.
