Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says their main focus so far has been on taking control of their destiny and making sure they get all their work done leading into the game tonight against the Western Force.

Byrne says games take care of the results and they are where they are on the ladder with four more games remaining which they need to win to maintain their place in the top 8.

He says the message to the team has been clear and that to take control of the year themselves and they have opportunities now to win games.

The Drua is still yet to secure an away game win since 2022 and they will be looking to break that drought tonight in Perth.

The Drua will take on the Force at 11.55 tonight in round 12 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

Meanwhile, in the matches played last night, the Chiefs thrashed Moana Pasifika 43-7 and the Reds overcame the Rebels 26-22.

In other games tonight, the Blues will play the Hurricanes at 4.35pm, the Highlanders will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm and the Waratahs will host the Brumbies at 9.35pm.
