Playoffs hanging on a thread for a few teams including the Drua

As the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round robin competition is coming to a close, teams at the bottom half of the table will have a lot to play for in the last two rounds ahead of them this weekend and next week.

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua need to win their final two matches with bonus points and hope that a few other results over these last two remaining rounds turn in their favour for a chance to make an appearance in the quarter finals.

The Fijian Drua are currently in 10th place on the Super Rugby Pacific points table with 17 points, 2 points behind the 9th-placed Highlanders, and 5 points behind the Western Force who are currently in 8th place with 22 points.

Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne will be looking to play his cards right especially when they will be playing two of the competition’s unpredictable teams, the Moana Pasifika and the Reds in these final two rounds.

The Fijian Drua will play Moana Pasifika at 2.05pm Saturday in Lautoka.

In other matches this week, the Highlanders will play the Reds at 7.05pm Friday, the Rebels will take on the Force at 9.35pm Friday, the Crusaders will host the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Blues will play the Waratahs at 7.05pm Saturday while the Brumbies will take on the Chiefs at 9.35pm Saturday.
