Swire Shipping Fijian Drua star half-back, Frank Lomani says they are grateful to have support through this tough time especially when they do not have their family around them.

The team has been away from their family since November last year and the match against Highlanders later this month would be their first travel back to Fiji since the season began.

Lomani says seeing videos of villagers taking the TV outside their home and just gathering around and cheering for the boys has been heartwarming.

He says this is what they live for, this is why they play the game and this is why they play their hearts out on the field.

They take on Highlanders on the 30th April at the ANZ Stadium.

Tickets are available at Post Fiji, Fiji Rugby Union and the Fiji Sports Council.

The Fijian Drua who are 11th on the Super Rugby Pacific points table are on a bye this week and will play the Blues next Saturday.

In Super Rugby Pacific this week, the Crusaders will take on the Blues at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will play the Rebels at 9.45pm Friday, the Chiefs will meet Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm Saturday, the Highlanders will take on the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday and the Force will face the Waratahs at 9.45pm Saturday.
