Swire Shipping Fijian Drua head coach Mick Byrne has revealed that their strategy against the defending champions the Crusaders this weekend is to look after themselves, look after their game and respect the ball.

Byrne says they will need to focus on their game as last week against Moana Pasifika, they had some good stat scores and it shows that they made a hell of a lot sometimes.

He says they got more line breaks and more defenders beaten, but they did not finish off, so another of their strategies has been to finish off well.

Byrne says they were not prepared differently as they just want a different outcome and they want to be disciplined around the set piece areas.

When asked by fijivillage News if he is confident that the Drua can create another upset this weekend, Byrne says that the attitude that the boys showed towards training this week, he is confident that the boys can create another upset.

The Drua will take on the Crusaders at 1.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park.
