The Crusaders will be fired up coming into this weekend’s Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 8 clash against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua following their huge loss to Moana Pasifika over the weekend.

Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson says Moana played really well against the Crusaders and they looked after their possession really well which was the key of every game.

Jackson says the Drua have tweaked a couple of things around and it is a good opportunity to get back home and play against a team that's hurting but are going well so far in the competition.

He says there is certainly some confidence in the players that they can topple the Crusaders again this week.

Meanwhile, a moment of silence will be observed for VITIFM’s iconic personality, Maikeli Radua, before the Drua vs Crusaders match kicks off.

The Drua will play the Crusaders at 3.35pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs will take on the Reds at 6.05pm tomorrow, Moana Pasifika will host the Waratahs at 1.05pm Saturday, the Blues will take on the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Force will play the Highlanders at 8.35pm Saturday.
