Control our excitement and recycle the ball – Drua Coach

We need to control our excitement at times and recycle the ball.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head coach Mick Byrne highlighted this during a press conference, adding that they should just take the ruck instead of constantly offloading.

Byrne says another area they are focusing on this week is their scrummaging as they were frequently penalised against the Blues.

The head coach also says they did enough at times to show that they were performing ok, but were just not clinical and did not finish.

The Drua will host the Hurricanes at 2.05pm this Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In other matches, the Highlanders will take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm Friday, the Crusaders will meet the Force at 4.35pm Saturday, the Blues will play Moana Pasifika at 7.05pm Saturday, the Reds will take on the Waratahs at 9.35pm Saturday and the Rebels will meet the Brumbies at 4.35pm Sunday.
