“It’s a must-see rehearsal as the Drua fine tune their preparations and sharpen their tactics for the upcoming clash against cur-rent table-leaders, Brumbies on Saturday at same venue.”

Fijian Drua, general manager commercial, Shane Hussein said: “This is a great chance for students, fans, and everyone who might be available during their lunch break to enjoy the open training session and meet the players straight after.

“Fans have a good 30 minutes from 1pm to 1.30pm to take photos and share in the excitement as we countdown to matchday.”

Families and fans are encouraged to come out and be part of a special occasion, with the fixture against the Brumbies—on their second visit to Fiji—doubling as a homecoming for Ba locals Isoa Tuwai, Joji Nasova and Epeli Momo as they run out in front of their families and home supporters.

The Four R Stadium has a massive grand-stand, which means the offer for grand-standing seating starting from only $10 for children (2-12 years) and $25 for adults.

Many firsts

This game has a number of firsts. This is the first time for an international rugby match to be played in Ba.

It’s the first time for the Drua and the Brumbies to play in Ba.

It will also be the first time a match from Ba goes out on global broadcast to millions of homes around the world, wherever the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition is viewed. So, it will be history-making in many ways.
