The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be putting their best foot forward tomorrow when they take on the Blues in round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific as they try to claim their first ever win over the visitors ever since joining the competition.

Coach Glen Jackson says mentally, they know this is one team they have not beaten in the Super Rugby Pacific, but he knows how hard the players have been working throughout the season, and they talk about it every week.

Jackson says their training this week was really important, as well as their recovery, since it was a six-day turnaround for them since their victory over the Reds last weekend, and the training was well monitored.

He says the players loved the session this week as it was less training.

Jackson says they want to put on a performance in Suva that will make the crowd enjoy, and also show the fans that the Drua can put on back-to-back performances.

Meanwhile, the Blues arrived in the country last night and had their Captain’s run at the HFC Bank Stadium this morning.

The Drua will take on the Blues at 7.05pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

In other matches this week, the Waratahs will play the Reds at 9.35pm tomorrow, the Crusaders will take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm Saturday, and the Force will host the Brumbies at 9.35pm Saturday.
