The Reds will be coming into this weekend’s Shop N Save Super Rugby round 12 match against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua with a lot of confidence following their win over the Blues last weekend, and they will want to back that performance up.

This was highlighted by Fijian Drua utility back Vuate Karawalevu who says they will need to match the level that the Reds will be bringing in this weekend.

The 24-year-old has been named to start at centre for the first time in his Super Rugby Pacific career and he says as a rugby player, he will have to adapt to the positional changes.

Karawalevu says the players will be expecting the world’s best fans out in numbers this weekend to support the team and they want to give back to the fans for their support.

The Drua will be gunning for wins in their remaining 4 matches, and they will be hoping that other results from other games will go in their favour to make it into the top 6.

The Drua will host the Reds at 2.05pm this Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.

In other matches this week, the Blues will host the Force at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Hurricanes will take on the Chiefs at 7.05pm Saturday, the Brumbies will take on the Waratahs at 9.35pm Saturday, and the Highlanders will take on Moana Pasifika at 3.35pm Sunday.
