The Brumbies have a very strong structure around them with a lot of consistency and we will need to meet them upfront.

These were the words of Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head Coach Mick Byrne as they look to give the Brumbies a good run for their money in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific Round 8 clash this weekend.

Byrne says the Brumbies like to play a well-structured game and with an experienced coach, they surely will be a team to beat this season.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Brumbies at 9.35pm Friday.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will meet the Reds at 4.05pm Friday, the Hurricanes take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm Saturday, and the Waratahs play the Western Force at 9.35pm Saturday.
