The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will get to play their game plan against the Western Force this time around after the weather dictated the strategies that they came in with, in their last meeting in round 6 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match in Lautoka.

This was highlighted by coach Mick Byrne ahead of their return clash against the Force in Perth this weekend.

The last time the two teams met, there was a heavy downpour at Churchill Park in Lautoka in which the Drua managed to come out victorious 31-13.

Byrne says the players needed to adjust themselves and play to what the weather presented.

He says this weekend the Force will want to make amends and avenge that loss and also will want to redeem themselves after being thrashed 56-7 by the Chiefs last week.

The Drua will take on the Force this Saturday at 11.55pm in Perth.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will take on the Rebels at 9.35pm Friday, the Blues will play the Hurricanes at 4.35pm Saturday, the Highlanders will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Waratahs will host the Brumbies at 9.35pm Saturday.
