BA’S 4R Stadium is set to host three of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s eight home matches next season during the Shop N Save 2027 Super Rugby Pacific season.

The 4R Stadium successfully hosted two matches this year bringing first against the ACT Brumbies in round 5 and the second against the Highlanders in round 12 brining a new and exciting vibe for the Drua Nation and the competition.

It’s resounding success will see the Fijian Drua commence their 2027 Super Rugby Pacific campaign in Ba where they host Timoci Tavatavanawai and his Highlanders team in the first round of the season.

On April 10, the Drua will host the Western Force in their second match at the 4R Stadium.

The 4R Stadium will also host the side final home match on Saturday May 29 against the NSW Waratahs.

The other five matches will be played in Suva and Lautoka, with three matches to be played at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva while the remaining two will be held at Lautoka’s Churchill Park.

Fijian Drua CEO Jeff Miller expressed his enthusiasm for the confirmed schedule:

“Bringing our fixtures across Suva, Lautoka and Ba means taking top-tier rugby directly into our communities. Every home venue is a fortress for us because our fans make it so. When you fill those stands and the embarkment, you become our 16th player on the field and make Fiji one of the toughest away trips in the sport,” he said.

“This season is about more than eighty minutes on the field, it is about national pride, inspiring the next generation and showing Fiji’s ability to take on the best in the world. We need the Drua Nation with us and we know they’ll be as excited as we are with the 2027 fixtures.”
