Fijian rugby fans can look forward to eight home games across Suva, Lautoka and Ba, with the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua confirming their venues for the 2027 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.

The announcement means supporters across the three centres will have opportunities to watch the Drua take on some of the competition’s leading teams on home soil.

The Drua will host three matches at Suva’s HFC Bank Stadium, three at Ba’s Four R Stadium and two at Lautoka’s Churchill Park.

The line-up includes defending champions the Hurricanes, alongside the Highlanders, Queensland Reds, Blues, Western Force, ACT Brumbies, Crusaders and NSW Waratahs. The Chiefs are the only Super Rugby Pacific team not scheduled to travel to Fiji for a Drua home fixture.

Fijian Drua Chief Executive Officer Jeff Miller said spreading the matches across the three venues would bring elite rugby closer to communities while strengthening national pride and inspiring the next generation.

Miller also highlighted the importance of crowd support, describing the Drua faithful as the team’s 16th player and a key factor in making Fiji a challenging destination for visiting sides.

Head Coach Brad Mooar welcomed the confirmation of the venues, saying the team was eager to play in front of its home supporters throughout the season. He also acknowledged fans supporting the side both in Fiji and from overseas.

The Drua’s home campaign begins against the Highlanders in Ba on February 13, with the final home match scheduled against the NSW Waratahs at the same venue on May 29.
