The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are under no illusions about how good the Waratahs are given their depth of players and the number of Wallabies on their side.

Drua Coach Glen Jackson highlighted this during the press conference and, stressed that he will make a few changes for Friday’s game because it’s a philosophy for the team, coming into the first four games of the tournament in terms of player rotations.

He says players have performed well in the first two rounds and this has made selection very tough for him.

Jackson says this week they are working to finish off strong and play 80-minute rugby.

He says it is a quick turnaround from Napier, with a six-day turnaround, but as usual, the players are very excited to play this game.

Drua will face the Waratahs this Friday at 8.35pm in Sydney.
