The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be going back to the drawing board this week, fix what needs to be fixed and come back stronger next week.

These were the words of Drua wing Junior Ratuva after the game against Moana Pasifika where they went down 39-36.

Ratuva says Moana Pasifika were a strong team but they were expecting that through out the week.

As for his debut try, Ratuva says he was surprised.

He says he is looking forward to this week’s game where they hopefully can get a win.

The Drua play defending Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific champions the Crusaders this Saturday at 1.05pm at Churchill Park, where they will be hoping for a repeat of last year’s result with the Drua winning 25-24.

Meanwhile the Chiefs just defeated the Brumbies 46-12 in Melbourne with the Hurricanes to take on the Reds at 5.30pm.
