Fans in the Western Division will get to witness a Super Rugby match for the first time on the 28th of next month.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua has confirmed another home match in Fiji in four weeks.

Drua Chief Executive Brian Thorburn says the Drua will play the Chiefs on Saturday, May 28th at 3pm.

Thorburn says the game will be held at Lautoka’s Churchill Park.

He adds they’re happy to take the game to the west.

Thorburn adds, however, that there will be some development work done in the lead-up to the games to ensure fans and players get the best arrangement.

“We’ve asked them to repaint the dressing rooms, replace some of the toilets, it just needs a bit of a tidy up. We are going to be building a new temporary grandstand that will take about 12,00 people so that’s one thing we’ll do to increase seating capacity”.

Thorburn says they hope tickets for this match will sell out more quickly than the Highlanders and Drua match.

Meanwhile, the Drua hosts the Highlanders on Saturday at 4:35pm at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
