The way the team trained this week is the kind of response that we are looking for and I’m feeling really good about it.
Those were the words of Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne as they look forward to this weekend’s crunch match against the Crusaders in round 3 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Lautoka.
Byrne says the players were really frustrated after the game last week as they knew they did not play well so they responded well at training this week.
He adds the Crusaders will be coming in for revenge as well but this time with a different coaching team.
Byrne says the defending champions are also coming in with 2 losses after the first two rounds but they are a quality side and they will be focusing on their game as much as everything else.
He says the Crusaders had the same kind of start as well last year but they went on to win the title.
The Drua will take on the Crusaders at 1.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park.
