Daugunu and Nabuli to start on wing against Fiji Drua

Two Fijians will start on the wing for the Queensland Country side against the Fiji Airways Drua in Australia’s National Rugby Championship today.

Reds wing Eto Nabuli will wear the number 11 jersey while the leading try scorer of the competition, Filipo Daugunu will don the number 14 jersey.

Coach Brad Thorn says the Drua will be the biggest challenge they have faced this season.

He says the match will be particularly special to the Fijian players in the team as they have the opportunity to play in front of family and friends in Lautoka.

The Drua will host the Queensland Country at 2pm today at Churchill Park and you can catch the live commentary on Viti FM on 92.2FM.
