The Melbourne Rebels will be looking to capitalise on every opportunity that they get when they take on the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in the last round of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition this weekend.
Rebels coach Kevin Foote says one thing that teams who are coming to play in Fiji have to understand is that there will be opportunities available, but they got to take it and make use of it as every point is important.
Foote says this was a major downfall for the Reds when they came to play in Fiji two weeks ago, as they did not take advantage of the opportunities when they were in the Drua’s 22-metre line.
Foote adds the Drua will be full of emotions and his players know that the Drua are a good team when they play on their home ground.
He says the home side will rely on their home crowd as well to back them up.
He further says for his players, it is a matter of understanding their own game and how they control their emotions.
The Rebels will take on the Drua at 2.05pm tomorrow at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
In other matches this week, the Crusaders will play Moana Pasifika at 7.05 tonight, the Waratahs host the Reds at 9.35 tonight, the Hurricanes will take on the Highlanders at 4.35pm tomorrow, the Blues will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm tomorrow, and the Force will host the Brumbies at 9.35pm tomorrow.
