Enthusiasm is building for the round 13 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash between the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua and the Blues.

As the match slowly nears, Fijian Drua head coach Glen Jackson says having back-to-back games at home would certainly help the team in preparing itself for it.

He mentioned how the match’s evening occurrence would allow for fans and supporters to head down to the stadium and immerse themselves in the intensity of the clash.

Meanwhile, the Drua face the Blues in their first evening match on home soil this season.

The Drua have a four-match losing streak against the Blues, and the team will seek to amend that when they take onto the field this Friday.

The match kicks off at 7.05pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
