The Fijian Warriors rugby side arrive in Wanganui tomorrow to prepare for their sixth and final 2013 Australasian tour match.

The Warriors (Fiji A), the back-up squad for the World Cup team, are unbeaten with two wins and a draw, one rained-out match, and they play the Blues' Development Squad at Waitemata today before coming to Wanganui via Wellington.

The Fijians play the Hurricanes' Development Squad at Spriggens Park at 4pm on Thursday, before returning home for the final round of the Pacific Nations Cup.

Their opening tour game, against Waratahs A in Sydney, was called off through torrential rain.

The Warriors beat the ARU Academy side 24-7 in Brisbane, the Rebels XV 27-22 in Melbourne and drew 37-all with the Highlanders Development XV in Dunedin last week.

They arrive mid-afternoon and have four nights at the Grand Hotel, returning to Wellington after Thursday's match.

Second-five Nemani Nadolo is captain of the 30-strong Warriors, with lock Nathen Hughes vice-captain. Saiasi Tubuna is manager, Inoke Male coach and Vereti Verebula assistant coach.

The Spriggens Park gates open at 3pm on Thursday, with a $2 gate charge, under-13s free.
