The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be hosting another Super Rugby Pacific game in Fiji next month.

Drua CEO Brian Thorburn has confirmed they will take on the Chiefs in round 15 at 3pm on Saturday, May 28th at Churchill Park.

Thorburn says they have been working to bringing another game to Fiji for over a month now.

He adds the cost of bringing the Chiefs to Fiji is almost similar to playing them in Gold Coast where it was originally scheduled to take place however there will be additional costs regarding television and production.
