Winger for the Queensland Reds who was born in Fiji, Suliasi Vunivalu, believes that his club and the hosts both need to win today’s matchup against the FijianSwire Shipping Drua. According to Vunivalu, the Reds want to finish in the top four and earn a home quarterfinal slot, while the hosts are desperate for a victory to keep themselves in the running for a postseason berth.
The Bua Navave villager claims that they learned last year—when they were defeated 41–17 at HFC Bank Stadium—that facing the Fijian Drua at home is difficult. We’ve done an excellent job of preparing this week. The guys are quite eager to visit Suva and face the Drua; we know it will be a difficult encounter, but we’re looking forward to the challenge.
Vunivalu continues, “I get to play in front of family and friends, so it’s always fun to be here in Fiji.” The formidable winger is one of three Fijians playing for the Reds, along with lock forward and tight-head prop Peni Ravai. On the bench, Serupepeli Uru is listed. The Drua vs. Reds game is broadcast live on FBC Sports and begins at 2:05 p.m. In other Super Rugby Pacific action, the Chiefs overcame the Melbourne Rebels 26-23, while the Hurricanes defeated Moana Pasifika 32-24 Friday night.
