Nic White: Bring On Frank

It’s all about mind games and the Western Force captain has led the way as soon as he arrived at Nadi International Airport on Wednesday night.

Speaking to SUNsports, veteran halfback Nic White said he was looking forward to take on his Swire Shipping Fijian Drua counterpart Frank Lomani; Lomani will be playing his 50th Super Rugby game on Saturday at Churchill Park.

White has been the brains behind the Force team’s sudden resurgence in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

“I have played against many of them (Drua players),” the Australian Wallabies 66-Test veteran said.

“I’m looking forward to playing against Frank. I am a really big fan of him. He was probably one of the best players last week.

“First time for me, the expectation here in Fiji is that the Drua is an amazing side. It will be a difficult game.

“I am really looking forward to the support seen on TV, how loud and vocal the crowd is. I’m looking forward to that.

“It’s a real buzz to be here. Fijians are my favourite people.

“This will be a real challenge that we are excited about. I’m excited for the challenge.

The match kicks-off at 1.05pm.
