Hurricanes captain Jordie Barrett is eagerly anticipating an exhilarating match against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua, set to take place tomorrow at Churchill Park. Arriving with enthusiasm, Barrett speaks of the unique passion and warmth that mark the Fijian experience, expressing how special it is to play on the islands.
“This is always a privilege to be back,” Barrett stated, promptly noting the challenging weather conditions that greet visitors. He finds excitement in the upcoming clash, particularly as it will be his first time playing at Churchill Park, adding to the thrill of the contest.
Barrett expects a highly competitive match, especially as the Drua’s backline is prepared to shine in front of their home fans. “It’s such a hard challenge here. With this being my first appearance at this ground, it is something I’m really looking forward to,” he said.
Historically, matches between these two teams have been closely contested, with both previous games in Fiji being decided by just a single score, leading to one win for each side. This history fuels Barrett’s expectation of another nail-biter this weekend.
In a call to supporters, he encouraged the local fans to show up in large numbers to create an unforgettable atmosphere for the match. The Hurricanes and Drua are set to clash at 3.35pm tomorrow, and fans can catch the live action on FBC Sports.
With the excitement brewing and the stakes high, both teams are set to deliver a remarkable display of rugby that embodies the spirit and intensity of the sport.
