The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are looking to be more accurate with the ball in hand when they take on the Brumbies in the Super Rugby Pacific this Saturday.
Looking at the match statistics from last week’s game, the Drua had only one successful offload while the Waratahs had 5.
They had more turnovers than the Waratahs but only managed to score one try. Coach Mick Byrne says they have been working on capitalising on their game plan this week, such as being more accurate when they have the ball. He says they have now experienced the pace of the Super Rugby competition and are excited and looking forward to going again this weekend.
Meanwhile, prop Kaliopasi Uluilakepa and lock Ratu Rotuisoli will make their Super Rugby debut this weekend.
Other players that will start for the Drua are Tevita Ikanivere, Samuela Tawake, Kitione Salawa, Nemani Nagusa, Caleb Muntz, Vinaya Habosi Onisi Ratave, Apisalome Vota and Baden Kerr.
The Drua will meet the Brumbies at 3.35pm Saturday.
In other Super Rugby Pacific matches, the Crusaders will face the Highlanders at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Waratahs will face the Reds at 8.45pm tomorrow, the Blues will take on the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday while the Rebels will face the Force at 8.45pm Saturday.
