The Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua will be focusing on retaining the ball more often and pressuring the defence into making a lot of mistakes this weekend in Lautoka.

This was highlighted by coach Mosese Rauluni as they turned their focus to their Super Rugby Women's Round 3 clash against the Western Force.

Rauluni says they did it against a good Waratahs side last weekend, and they have to do it again this weekend.

He says the Force are very good at retaining the ball and spreading the ball wide and their handling skills have improved a lot in two years.

The Drua Women will take on the Western Force at 3.35pm this Saturday at Churchill Park in their second double header match of the year with the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Men playing the Western Force at 1.05pm.

In other Super Rugby Women matches this weekend, the Waratahs will play the Rebels at 6.05pm Friday and the Reds will take on the Brumbies at 6.05pm Saturday.
