Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says sometimes unforced errors come around through nerves and he is working on keeping the players relaxed and focused on their job against the Western Force this weekend.

Byrne says they will need to stick to their normal processes and the players know what they need to do.

He says their loss to the Brumbies last weekend was not because of process issues but just some unforced errors.

He says they managed to lift their performance in the second half against the Brumbies.

Byrne says the key for them this week is to reduce those unforced errors, especially when playing against the Force on their home ground.

The Drua are yet to secure an away-game victory and they are hoping to break that drought this weekend.

The Drua will play the Force at 11.55pm on Saturday in Perth.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Reds will take on the Rebels at 9.35pm tomorrow, the Blues will play the Hurricanes at 4.35pm Saturday, the Highlanders will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Waratahs will host the Brumbies at 9.35pm Saturday.
