Drua to avoid ill discipline against the Waratahs

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will focus on improving their discipline and will be looking to prevent giving away unnecessary penalties when they take on the NSW Waratahs in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 13 clash tomorrow night.

Coach Mick Byrne says ill-discipline was one of their downfalls in their loss to the Western Force and they will work on preventing it this week especially playing against a team like the Waratahs.

He says the Force took advantage of the penalties conceded and given away by the Drua last week and they capitalised on it that allowed them to score more points.

Byrne says the Waratahs will be dangerous this week especially coming off from 3 consecutive wins and they will look to keep that momentum going.

The Fijian Drua will need a win against the Waratahs to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the quarter finals.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 9.35pm in Sydney.
