Drua hopes for redemption today

After a poor performance last week against Moana Pasifika, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are looking to redeem themselves when they host the Queensland Reds in round 12 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific at the HFC Bank Stadium this afternoon.

The Drua is sitting in last place in the points table with 11 points and is still on the hunt for a spot in the top six.

Captain Mesake Doge says the team's preparation has been strong throughout the week, and the players are motivated to deliver.

He says they are expecting a tough battle and hopeful that the crowds will turn up in numbers to support the Drua.

Meanwhile, Reds loose-forward and Fiji-born Seru Uru is looking forward to a tough challenge today.

He says he is always excited to be back in Fiji to play against the Drua, and he knows it will be a tough challenge.

Uru says it is always special for him to come and play in Fiji because it's the time his family get to watch him close up.

He adds they are well-prepared as a team and looking forward to the game.

The Drua will take on the Reds at 2.05pm today at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

In other matches, the Hurricanes will take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm today, the Brumbies will face the Waratahs at 9.35 tonight, and the Highlanders will meet Moana Pasifika at 3.35pm tomorrow.
