Fijian Drua winger Epeli Momo.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua winger Epeli Momo says he still has a lot to work on, especially with his performance every week and he is learning as much as he can to become the best player that he can be in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

After their 28-19 win over the Reds last week, Momo says he felt a bit under pressure, especially with the intensity of the match and also the fact that he was playing in front of the Suva crowd for the first time in a professional competition.

The 24-year-old says he will look to better his performance this weekend if given another chance to play against the Highlanders.

The Yaloku, Ba man currently sits in the top 10 of the most clean breaks made by a player this season with 11 clean breaks so far.

Meanwhile, the Drua will need a win this weekend against the Highlanders to maintain their spot in the top 8 of the overall Super Rugby Pacific points table and also a chance to move up into 7th place with 2 games remaining in the round-robin competition.

The Drua will take on the Highlanders at 2.05pm this Sunday in Dunedin.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs play the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Friday, the Brumbies host the Rebels at 9.35pm Friday, Moana Pasifika take on the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders play the Blues at 7.05pm Saturday, and the Reds meet the Force at 9.35pm Saturday.
