Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Mick Byrne says it was just frustrating they could not get points on the board early when they played the NSW Waratahs.

Byrne also says he thought they had enough opportunities to get across the line a couple of times.

He further says it was certainly an improvement from last week with their energy and effort.

Drua Captain Meli Derenalagi adds playing their home-games is another atmosphere.

Derenalagi also adds the boys are ready to defend their turf this week against Moana Pasifika.

The Drua host Moana Pasifika at 2.05pm Saturday at Churchill Park, Lautoka in their round 14 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash.

In other games coming up this week, the Highlanders host the Reds at 7.05pm Friday, the Rebels play the Force at 9.35pm, the Crusaders face the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Blues host the Hurricanes at 7.35pm and the Brumbies play the Chiefs at 9.35pm.
