Selection dilemma created after Drua players prove themselves

Selection dilemma created after Drua players prove themselves

The positive results yielded from the player rotations in the first four rounds has created what every coach wants which is a selection dilemma, because every player has proved themselves when they were given the chance to make the run on team.

This has been shared by the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson while responding to fijivillage News on the successful implementation of the player rotation in the first 4 rounds.

Jackson says the players have done a good job around the philosophy of player rotation and they have understood why they did it.

He says everything falls on selecting the best players now.

The Head Coach says it’s important that they get the selection right because the players have proven that they can compete with top-of-the-table teams.

The Drua play the Brumbies at 8.35pm Friday at GIO Stadium, Canberra.

In other matches this week, the Highlanders will play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Friday, the Crusaders will take on the Western Force at 3.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will battle the Blues at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Reds will play the Waratahs at 8.35pm Saturday.

Meanwhile the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women’s side will play the Brumbies Women at 3.35pm Saturday at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
