We have got a chance to play at the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition and it will be a do-or-die game for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua team as the Queensland Reds are coming hungry for a win at the HFC Bank Stadium tomorrow.

Former Reds loose forward, Radike Samo highlighted this during a Vuvale organised event that leads to a Captain’s run by legends Lote Tuqiri, Radike Samo and Sam Wykes.

Samo says the Reds will play an 80-minute game against the Drua, and it's up to the boy's whether they want to stamp their mark this year or not.

He says the Drua players need to play their own game and they need to keep the ball in hand and not kick it away and lose possession. He added that in the last few games, Drua had some close games, ending up winning the game by kicking penalties.

Meanwhile, Reds center Isaac Henry says their boys are ready for the game against the Fijian Drua and they are here to win.

Henry says the weather is on their side and hopes they will win.

The Drua will host the Reds at 4.35pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium.
