The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are preparing well, but are not finishing well, and it is extremely disappointing because they could have won both games against the Brumbies and the Hurricanes.

Drua Coach Glen Jackson highlighted this during the press conference this afternoon.

Jackson says to lose in the final minutes of a great footy is frustrating, however, he is proud of how the players are performing, given the two big teams they have played.

He says it is a different competition compared to last year and every point the team gets will be crucial this season.

Jackson says their defence is improving and they will maintain that going into this week's game against the Waratahs as they will hunt for their first win of the season.

He says the Waratahs will be doing a lot of kicking and they have mapped out a game plan to counter their strengths.

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