Swire Shipping Fijian Drua captain Tevita Ikanivere says the team is aiming for a major breakthrough as they gear up for their final match of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.

A win against the Queensland Reds in Brisbane, Australia tonight will mark a significant milestone for the Drua – their first-ever back-to-back victory and first triumph on foreign soil.

The team heads into the clash with a strong momentum and Ikanivere says the players are united, motivated and determined to finish the season on a high.

“Last game for this season, the boys want to end on a good note and this will give us a good baseline to start next year.”

Securing a win away from home will make the occasion even more special for the Drua.

Tonight’s clash will start at 9.35pm and will be LIVE on FBC Sports.
