Queensland Reds co-captain and halfback Tate McDermott says it will be a huge challenge for them to play the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in front of their home fans.

McDermott says the Drua is a very terrific side when they are playing in front of their home fans.

He adds the Drua fans are very vocal when it comes to support and that is one challenge they are looking to overcome.

The Reds arrived in the country on Wednesday night and will be flying into Suva this afternoon before they have their team run at the HFC Bank Stadium at 3.45pm today.

Meanwhile, the Drua will be banking on the vocal crowd support to push them through in their must-win match tomorrow.

The Drua is currently sitting in 8th place in the overall Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition points table with 17 points while the Reds are in 5th place with 31 points.

A win for the Drua will help them keep their spot in the top 8 while a loss could see them slip out of the top 8.

The Drua play the Reds at 2.05pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium. In other games this week, the Hurricanes will take on Moana Pasifika at 7.05 tonight, the Rebels will host the Chiefs at 9.35 tonight, the Brumbies will play the Crusaders at 4.35pm tomorrow, the Blues will battle the Highlanders at 7.05pm tomorrow and the Force host the Waratahs at 9.35pm tomorrow.
