Just 26 days remain until the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua return to play on home soil – this time at Churchill Park in Lautoka where they take on the Chiefs from Waikato.
It will be the first time for the Sugar City to host a Super Rugby Pacific match.
Fijian Drua CEO Brian Thorburn said: “The Chiefs are one of the leading sides in the competition and currently sit fourth on the ladder. With a squad featuring 12 full All Blacks and names like Pita Gus Sowakula, Brad Webber, Anton Leinert-Brown, Brodie Retallick and All Black Captain Sam Cane, they will by vying for a win to secure a home quarter-final. But the Drua will be out to spoil their party with the support of our vocal locals.”
Thorburn added “Given the popularity of the Chiefs in Fiji, as well as the Drua, I have no doubt that we’ll get another sell out, and we will do everything we can to safely increase capacity at the Venue’. We’ve also learned from the Suva Highlanders match and we have earmarked an area at the northern end of the field for $20 tickets. Due to the limited size of this area and the number of available tickets, these will only be available from Lautoka Council offices.”
Tickets for the match at Churchill Park are priced as follows:
• $20 for adults and $10 for kids under 12 for the grass embankment on the Tappoo City (Northern) end of the field.
• $30 for adults and $15 for kids under 12 for the grass embankment opposite the main stadium (Eastern).
• $95 for the Timber Grandstand (Pavilion B)
• $95 for a temporary grandstand to be constructed adjacent to the Concrete Grandstand (Pavilion A)
• $145 for the Concrete Grandstand (Pavilion A)
Tickets will be available for sale from Monday May 9 at the Lautoka City Council office, and eight selected Jack’s of Fiji outlets.
