Pressure on our bench to make a difference - Jackson

Pressure on our bench to make a difference - Jackson

After the Hurricanes game, we put a bit of pressure on our bench to be able to come out and make a difference.

This was stated by Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson who highlighted the difference that young flyhalf Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula made when he came on against the Waratahs last week.

Jackson says that is one area that they will have to be really good at against the Chiefs on Saturday, because the Chiefs score most of their points in the last 20 minutes.

The Drua take on the top of the table Chiefs at 3.35pm Saturday at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

In other games, the Blues will face the Brumbies at 6.05pm Friday, Moana Pasifika will take on the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, the Waratahs will meet the Force at 8.35pm Saturday and the Crusaders will play the Reds at 2.35pm Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua will play the Reds at 1.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park, Lautoka in round 2 of the Super W competition.
