The Fijian Drua are back in front of their home fans for Saturday afternoon Super Rugby against the Chiefs. Join The Roar for live scores from 1:00pm AEST.
Churchill Park was closed at the start of the month in preparation for this clash which just shows you how much Fiji values having Super Rugby matches in the country.
A capacity crowed of 11,000 fans is expected after 15,000 attended the last home game in Suva at the ANZ Stadium.
The Drua have struggled in recent weeks but being back in front of their home fans and being the last game of the season should have the side pumped up for this one.
“Playing at home, we saw they grew another leg,” he said of their earlier game against the Highlanders,” Chiefs coach Cameron McMillan said.
“It will be foreign conditions to us, with the heat, humidity and, potentially, some tropical downpours, the state of the ground. We’ve got no control over those things.
“We know it’s going to be a bit of a festival atmosphere, but a fairly hostile one.
“We’re under no illusions as to the challenge. They’re a good team with some powerful athletes.
“That we’ve got them last, and they’re at home with nothing to lose, makes them as dangerous as anyone.”
All Black Brodie Retallick returns to the side which is a welcome addition considering Sam Cane is still not ready to play.
Frank Lomani leads the Drua and expect plenty of emotion in the last match of the season win, lose or draw.
