Fijian Drua Head Coach Glen Jackson

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are aware of the game pattern of the Waratahs where they will do a lot of kicking to secure territorial advantage and force the Drua players to make mistakes.

This was shared by Drua Head Coach Glen Jackson as he says they will trust their process knowing the first four games will be against strong teams and they will continue to rotate players as part of their plans.

He says the preparatory work this week is the same as the last two games, but this time they will finish off strongly and smartly.

Jackson says Waratahs Head Coach Dan McKellar is a smart coach and the Drua are working around areas to counter them.

McKellar has said the Waratahs are not going to play an expansive game like the Drua because it can come back to hurt them.

Jackson says they will try and shut the Waratahs early and the players are confident to execute the plan.

The Drua will face the Waratahs this Friday at 8.35pm in Sydney.
