Swire Shipping Fijian Drua halfback Peni Matawalu is calling on fans for support when they take on the Brumbies this weekend at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, in the first round of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.
The 27-year-old says the team know it is not going to be an easy game for them, but vocal support from the fans will be a morale booster for the players.
Matawalu says this is a historic match for both teams as it will be the first time ever for the Brumbies to be playing on Fijian soil against the Drua.
He says in terms of preparation for the first round this week, the boys have been preparing for the last 18-weeks of off-season and pre-season training and they are physically, mentally and spiritually ready for this season.
The Fijian Drua will kick start their 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season by hosting the Brumbies this Saturday at 3.35pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
In other matches, the Crusaders will meet the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Friday, the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 8.35pm Friday, the Blues will face the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday and the Force will play Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Saturday.
