Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says their physical game against the Blues last week has given the players the belief they can match the Highlanders when they meet this Saturday in the Super Rugby Pacific at the ANZ Stadium.
The Blues had some anxious moments last week as the Drua threatened a massive upset.
Byrne says the Fijian Drua went right out from the start and for the first time, they managed to score their first try in the first 20 minutes.
He says this gives them the confidence to go out and go hard.
He adds it was also disappointing that they could not score in the final 5 minutes of attack.
The Fijian Drua will play the Highlanders at 4.35pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.
