Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson

There has been good growth in the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s attack, and the players are doing everything they are being asked to do.

This was highlighted by coach Glen Jackson when asked by fijivillage Sports about what is his view as a coach on the team’s growth so far this season.

Jackson says the onus was on the players to look after the ball, and they did that against the Reds.

He adds defensively, it is going to be important that they continue to make their one-on-one tackles, and they have been putting a lot of pressure on their loose forward trio, in which they topped the count.

Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua currently sits in last place with 15 points and 3 wins so far, and another win this week will boost their chances of making it into the top 6.

The Drua will host the Blues for the first time at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva at 7.05pm Friday in round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

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