The Western Force has named three Fijians in their squad to take on the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash in Perth tonight.

Fiji Water Flying Fijians winger Manasa Mataele and Rahboni Vosayaco will be starting in the wing and number 8 respectively while former Wallabies backrower Isi Naisarani will be starting off the bench.

With the season coming to a close end, the Force will be looking to overcome the Drua at home and boost their chances of a top 8 finish and qualify for the quarter-finals.

They will also want to keep a good home record and also a clean sheet against the Fijian Drua.

On the other hand, the Fijian Drua are psyched up for tonight's battle as they will also want to keep the winning momentum going after their impressive win against the Hurricanes last week and also will want to maintain their spot in the top 8.

The Drua versus the Force match will kick off at 9.35pm.

In other games, the Chiefs will play the Reds at 7.05 tonight, the Hurricanes play Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm tomorrow, the Crusaders host the Blues at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Waratahs host the Rebels at 9.35pm tomorrow and the Brumbies face the Highlanders at 4.35pm Sunday.
