The Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific is a competition where a team can’t dwell too much on what happened, but it is all about reviewing and moving on quickly.

This was the sentiment of Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson who says they were disappointed that they did not get the win against the Brumbies over the weekend.

Jackson says it would have been great to start for himself as a coach and his management, and for the new players in the club to get the win, but that did not happen.

Jackson says they expect to win as they are not going into any game for any other reason, and that is the game of rugby.

He says the players have trained well so far, they had a good hit out, which he thinks as a coach is necessary.

He adds he feels they lost the contact battle against the Brumbies, and that was something that they talked about a lot as a team, and he feels the Hurricanes bring more of that aggressive game around the breakdown.

Jackson says if they do not get that right, then they are not going to get what they are after, and that is the win.

The Drua will take on the Hurricanes at 3.35pm this Saturday in McLean Park, Wellington.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs will host the Crusaders at 6.05pm Friday, the Reds will play Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Friday, the Highlanders will take on the Blues at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Brumbies will play the Force at 8.35pm Saturday.
