The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua players will have to take on board the disappointment they had against the Western Force last week in Perth and find a way to be ready for the Reds this weekend.

This was highlighted by coach Mick Byrne who says some of the players may have to find a way to overcome that disappointment as they have not felt like that before.

Byrne says it is part of their learning and also their growth but they will have to find out a lot more about themselves in their preparation this week.

Byrne adds they know the Reds will be coming hard after them and they will have to be ready for it.

The Drua will take on the Reds at 2.05pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva in round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

In other games this week, the Hurricanes will take on Moana Pasifika at 7.05pm Friday, the Rebels will host the Chiefs at 9.35pm Friday, the Brumbies will play the Crusaders at 4.35pm Saturday, the Blues will battle the Highlanders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Force will host the Waratahs at 9.35pm Saturday.

The Drua play the Highlanders in Dunedin next Sunday, and play their last match against the Rebels on the 1st of June in Lautoka.
