Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says now is the time for his players to forge their own name and careers in Super Rugby.

As the Drua prepares to face the Crusaders, Byrne says he is aware that the most of the Drua players have watched these players play on television.

Byrne further says the Drua players can now be the new role models for the younger generation.

The Drua meet the Crusaders at 7.05pm Friday.

In other matches, the Reds will take on Moana Pasifika at 9.45pm Friday, the Chiefs will play the Force at 4.35pm Saturday, the Rebels will face the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday, the Blues will meet the Brumbies at 9.45pm Saturday, and the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Sunday.
