The Crusaders are wary of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua as they are in their final preparation mode before heading to Fiji for their 2023 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific Round 3 clash this weekend.

Head coach Scott Robertson says the Fijian Drua team will be dangerous especially when they will be playing in front of their home fans this weekend.

Robertson says it will be an exciting game as the Drua has improved in just their second year in the competition.

Meanwhile, Fijian-born All Blacks players Sevu Reece and George Bower are expected to be lining up for the Crusaders against their fellow countrymen this weekend.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Crusaders at 3.35pm Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

In other Super Rugby Matches this week, the Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 6.05pm Friday, the Rebels will meet the Waratahs at 8.35pm Friday, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will face the Crusaders at 3.35pm Saturday, the Brumbies will play the Reds at 8.35pm Saturday and the Western Force will meet Moana Pasifika at 11pm Saturday.
