Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson says they have highlighted some issues they have been getting with the referees, but they are not going to sit in a room and complain about it.

While speaking to the media from their base in Perth, Jackson says unfortunately, when you do not get the wins there are things that are highlighted a little bit more.

He says they are not refereed differently from other teams in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

The Drua coach says he is happy that co-captains Tevita Ikanivere and Frank Lomani are understanding how to communicate with the referees, so that whatever happens on the field does not lead to frustration and ill discipline.

Jackson says there are no injury concerns with the squad in Perth, but Selestino Ravutaumada failed his Head Injury Assessment Protocol and is back in Fiji.

The Drua will take on the Force at 6.05pm Sunday at HBF Park in Perth.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will take on the Chiefs at 6.05pm Friday, the Highlanders will play the Reds at 3.35pm Saturday, the Blues will host the Crusaders at 6.05pm Saturday and the Waratahs will play the Brumbies at 8.35pm Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women will take on the Western Force at 8.50pm Sunday.
