The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be looking to produce their best performance in Suva this Saturday as they prepare for their final home game of the season.
Head coach Glen Jackson shared from the team’s base in Nadi this morning that the players understand the importance of the match and are eager to take the field.
Jackson says the contest against the NSW Waratahs will once again be decided at the breakdown, adding that the Waratahs boast a strong backline filled with Wallaby representatives, making it another tough challenge for the Drua.
He acknowledged that the team has struggled to deliver strong performances in Suva in recent matches, but said they are determined to put on a memorable display for their home fans this weekend.
