The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are all set and ready to take on the Hurricanes today in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Suva.

Both teams had their captains run yesterday and the Drua is excited to play the Hurricanes on their home turf for the first time.

Captain Tevita Ikanivere says they hope to record their third home win after a disappointing loss to the Blues last week in Lautoka.

“Plan is always the same. We try to come out and do our best and win. All teams are tough in this competition. No one is weak and no one is strong. Everyone’s the same. Everyone’s strong and the boys are looking forward to coming out again and playing again.”

The Drua will face the Hurricanes at 2.05 pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
