Churchill Park in Lautoka has established itself as a stronghold for the Fijian Drua, who have delighted fans with an impressive record of eight consecutive wins at the venue. Co-captain Mesulame Dolokoto attributes this remarkable success to the unique atmosphere that resonates in Sugar City, which he believes elevates the team’s performance whenever they take to the field.
Dolokoto remarked, “The crowd was saying we should move all the home games here to Churchill Park because that’s eight in a row here. I think we really have a good record down here, but we’re happy with both — here and Suva.” He further pointed out the advantages of training in nearby Nadi, suggesting that the team is accustomed to the humid conditions of Lautoka, giving them an edge during home games.
As the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua prepares for their upcoming match against Moana Pasifika in New Zealand, fans are eager to maintain the momentum following their strong performance at Churchill Park. This pivotal Round 11 fixture of the 2025 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season, scheduled for this Saturday at 4:35 PM, will be broadcast live on FBC Sports.
The Drua’s ability to create such a formidable home presence contributes not only to their morale but also strengthens community bonds and fan support. This positive atmosphere at home provides a crucial boost as the team aims to build on their winning streak and prepare for competitive matches ahead. With players and fans united in their passion for rugby, there is hope that the Drua will continue to showcase their talent and determination throughout the season.
