Drua coaching group confident they have picked the right team to beat the Hurricanes - Jackson

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coaching group is confident they have picked the right team that can beat the Hurricanes this week in round 2 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

Coach Glen Jackson says they had a big debrief on Sunday after the game against the Brumbies and they wanted to make sure that they have got the right team.

Jackson made several changes to the matchday 23 squad which included livewire hooker and co-captain Tevita Ikanivere being rested from the squad.

Frank Lomani has been handed the captaincy role and will lead from halfback.

Former Racing 92 centre Inia Tabuavou will make his Super Rugby Pacific debut at inside centre while former Reds prop Peni Ravai will potentially be making his debut off the bench.

The Drua will take on the Hurricanes at 3.35pm this Saturday in McLean Park, Napier.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs will host the Crusaders at 6.05pm Friday, the Reds will play Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Friday, the Highlanders will take on the Blues at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Brumbies will play the Force at 8.35pm Saturday.
