Ball retention is key focus for the Drua against the Chiefs tomorrow

Ball retention will be the key focus for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua when they take on the Chiefs tomorrow in round 4 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

Halfback and Co-Captain Frank Lomani says they will need to keep the ball as much as they can if they want to control the game.

Lomani says they had a good week of preparation and the players are really excited about tomorrow’s clash.

He says there is no pressure on them as they have put in the hard work.

With the Drua losing their first three matches of the season, Lomani says the goal is the same every week where they come in to win.

The Drua face the Chiefs at 3.35pm tomorrow at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

In other games this week, the Blues will face the Brumbies at 6.35 tonight, Moana Pasifika will host the Hurricanes at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Waratahs will take on the Force at 8.35pm tomorrow, and the Crusaders will battle the Reds at 2.35pm this Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women’s side will meet the Reds at 1.05pm tomorrow at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
