Drua eye redemption in high-stakes Waratahs clash

Drua eye redemption in high-stakes Waratahs clash

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are under no illusions about the challenge ahead — it's a tough uphill battle, and the mission is simple: win or go home.

Coach Glen Jackson has highlighted this as the team takes on Waratahs this afternoon.

Jackson says they should have won three from four matches in the first round but this motivates the players to do better.

He says the Waratahs seem to have changed from the first time they played them but the Drua are excited after playing them in Sydney which they should have won.

With just six matches left in the regular season, the Drua must win at least three to break into the top six and keep their finals hopes alive.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 2.05pm today at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
