It’s business time for Fiji Airways Drua Head Coach Senirusi Seruvakula and his team as they finalise preparations for their NRC semi final against the Canberra Vikings at Churchill Park tomorrow.
The Canberra Vikings have laid down their intentions for revenge from the defeat they suffered two weeks ago in Lautoka, naming four Wallabies Pete Samu, Rory Arnold, Tom Banks and Joe Powell in their team for the clash.
The Drua accepts naming seven Flying Fijians in their team for this weekend's battle and Seruvakula has made just one change to the starting team that courageously defeated the Western Force last week, bringing NRC top scorer Apisalome Waqatabu back into the full back position.
Seruvakula says that it has been a massive headache for the opposition all year as the Drua have had to make constant changes in their line up and keep the opposition guessing week in and out.
Drua coach adds that the boys have showed him how much they want the title and their preparations have been really focussed.
Seruvakula says that the boys are ready to play.
The Head Coach has called to the Fijian public to get behind his team as they chase the victory and face the challenge this weekend.
The Fiji Airways Drua will have their Captain’s Run at Churchill Park this afternoon before taking the field against the Canberra Vikings at 4pm tomorrow.
You can catch the live commentary on VitiFM on 92.2FM.
The Vikings arrive into Nadi later tonight and will not be hosting a training in Fiji.
If the Drua win their semifinal game they will be hosting the NRC final.
In the second semifinal, Western Force will take on Queensland Country at 5pm Sunday.
