Coach Scott Robertson says while this is a Chiefs home game, they are fortunate to have plenty of support in Suva, and look forward to the opportunity to connect with Crusaders fans over the next few days.
He says they love playing in the heat, and it is something they will embrace in Fiji and make the most of the experience.
The Crusaders will play the Chiefs at 7.35pm tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
