The Fiji Airways Drua coach Sairusi Seruvakula says the change in home grounds this year should not affect the team’s performance in the National Rugby Championship.

Seruvakula says despite the change in venue the team will still be at an advantage with the home crowd which should boost the team’s morale.

“I think it’s the right place for us to be playing in our first game which we will support the spectators. They’re very close up with the players and I think that’s the right place for us.”

The Drua will take on the Melbourne Rising in their first game on the 1st of next month at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori at 3 pm.
