As the Auckland Blues prepare for their first-ever Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in Suva, captain Patrick Tuipulotu says the heat will be their biggest challenge.

Following the team’s captain’s run at HFC Bank Stadium this afternoon, Tuipulotu says they are trying to adjust to the heat and stay hydrated.

When asked how important it is for them to win, Tuipulotu says they must get bonus points to get to the finals.

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