The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has embarked on their journey to New Zealand today as they gear up to compete against the Chiefs in their inaugural pre-season match. The clash is an important milestone ahead of the Shop N Save Supermarket Super Rugby Pacific season scheduled to commence next month.
Departing from Nadi International Airport, the Drua will face the Chiefs on Friday at 2 PM at Blake Park in Mount Maunganui. This match presents an excellent opportunity for the team to showcase their skills and prepare for the upcoming competitive season.
The Drua will spend the entire week fine-tuning their strategies and conditioning for the encounter against a Chiefs team that had a remarkable season last year, finishing at the top of the table before succumbing to the Crusaders in the finals.
Following their anticipated showdown with the Chiefs, the team aims to return home this weekend and swiftly shift their focus to their second and concluding pre-season match against the Skipper Select, which is set for next Friday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
This pre-season preparation serves as a significant foundation for the Drua, as they work towards building momentum and camaraderie before entering the competitive arena. As they gear up, fans are hopeful for an exciting season ahead with promising performances from their team.
