The Fiji Airways Drua will be aiming to avoid another slow start when they take on the NSW Country Eagles in their fifth National Rugby Championship match this Saturday.

The Drua had to score 29 points in 28 minutes against the Sydney Rays last weekend to win the match 34-31.

The team may once again rely on players like Apisalome Waqatabu, Alivereti Veitokani, Mosese Voka and Levani Kurumudu to secure Drua’s fourth win in the NRC this season.

After their two match tour of Australia, the Drua will be back playing in-front of their home fans at the ANZ Stadium.

The Drua and Queensland Country currently lead the NRC points table with 14 points.

The Drua will play NSW Country Eagles at 3pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary of the match on Viti FM on 92.2 FM
