Heading into round 11 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will want to improve on their finishing and make use of every opportunity they can get to score points.

Following their 28-14 win over the Waratahs in Lautoka over the weekend, star utility forward Etonia Waqa highlighted the importance of grabbing every point they could possibly get in a match.

Waqa says it is all about making sure they finish off every game plan and structure they work hard for on the field.

He says there were a lot of handling errors and slippery hands against the Waratahs and it is obvious that they cannot score any points if they keep committing these basic mistakes and losing possessions.

Waqa was named the man of the match following another blistering performance at flanker.

The 25-year-old ran a total of 92 metres in 8 carries with 3 linebreaks and beating 8 defenders.

In defence, Waqa had a 90 percent tackle completion rate including 1 dominant tackle.

He was also named in the Super Rugby Pacific Team of the Week alongside young flanker Motikiai Murray and explosive winger Ponipate Loganimasi.

Meanwhile, the Drua will now turn their focus to Moana Pasifika this weekend as they will face off in round 11 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

The Drua will take on Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm on Saturday at North Harbour Stadium in round 11 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.
