Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Mick Byrne says they know that every game for them is a step up and they are looking forward to the opportunity of playing New Zealand teams later in Super Rugby Pacific.

He says they know last year’s track record where the New Zealand teams were right in front compared to the Australian teams.

Byrne adds one thing they will continuously work on is fitness because this is a part of the game the New Zealand teams have been well drilled in.

The Fijian Drua will meet the Reds at 8.45pm Saturday.

In other matches, the Blues will face the Highlanders at 6.05pm Friday, the Rebels will meet the Brumbies at 8.45pm Friday, the Hurricanes will take on the Moana Pasifika at 3.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders will play the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Waratahs will meet Western Force at 3pm Sunday.
