People are coming out in numbers in the Sugar City to witness the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua try and keep their slate of home games this year clean against the Auckland Blues in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific culture round.

Gates are now open.

Apenisa Waqawai of Natabua, Lautoka says he got in earlier to conduct some business so he could get some lunch and enjoy the game.

Waqawai also says his family is coming in from the village to catch all the action in the Lautoka heat.

Akanisi Tokovou says she and her family started getting ready at 5.30 this morning.

Tokovou is urging people to come out in numbers as it is our home ground.

The Blues also have support here as Luis and his family traveled down from Suva and are all decked out in Blues colours.

Luis and the family are from Samoa and they say they have been supporting the Blues before they moved over to Fiji.

When fijivillage News asked who their favourite player is, his wife quickly answered Pareti or Beauden Barrett because they are trying to claim him as Samoan.

Both teams have just arrived at the ground to begin their warm-ups.

You can get your tickets at any Jacks of Fiji outlet, Lautoka City Council and at selected Shop N Save supermarkets.

The match kicks off at 2.05pm today.

In other games today, Moana Pasifika face the Rebels at 4.35pm, the undefeated Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05pm and the Reds play the Force at 9.35pm.

Last night, the Hurricanes beat the Brumbies 32-27 while the Waratahs beat the Highlanders 21-20.
