In a heartwarming show of support, Fijians have sent their best wishes to the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua as they prepare to face the Auckland Blues at Eden Park in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific quarter final at 7.05 tonight.

President of the Methodist Church in Fiji, Reverend Dr Semisi Turagavou expressed the hopes of all Christians that the Drua will play for all Fijians locally and worldwide.

Sidhant Deepak Chand and fans at the Suva Market, including supporters of Selestino Ravutaumada also sent their best wishes and blessings.

Fiji Airways men’s rugby sevens winger Ropate Rere and Tabadamu 7's players also send their best wishes to the team.

Meanwhile the Chiefs defeated the Reds 43-21 last night and also booked their place in the semi finals.

In other quarter finals today, the Hurricanes will host the Rebels at 4.35pm and the Brumbies will play the Highlanders at 9.35pm.
