The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua is looking forward to playing in front of their home fans in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash against defending champions the Crusaders at Churchill Park in Lautoka this weekend.

Coach Mick Byrne says the players will recover and focus now on improving the areas they lacked in against the Waratahs as they aim to give the defending champions a good game.

Captain Tevita Ikanivere says the team is hyped up about playing at home this weekend as they will be having the support of the home crowd.

He says playing in front of their fans always pushes them to give their best on the field.

The Fijian Drua play the Crusaders at 3.35pm Saturday.

In other Super Rugby Pacific games this week, the Chiefs will play the Highlanders at 6.05pm on Friday, the Rebels will take on the Waratahs at 8.35pm on Friday, the Hurricanes will play the Blues at 6.05pm Saturday, the Brumbies will play the Reds at 8.35pm Saturday and Moana Pasifika will play Western Force at 11pm Saturday.
