We are doing things differently this time around – Drua Coach

We are doing things differently this time around – Drua Coach

As a club we do not have a good record in Perth, but we are doing things a lot more differently this time around.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson shared this to the media from their Perth base, ahead of their clash tomorrow against the Western Force.

Jackson says this comes down to their understanding of where they are in relation to the Force.

He says last year was a real turn around in their performance in Perth where they went down 48-10 after drubbing them 31-13 in Lautoka.

Meanwhile, Force Coach Simon Cron says it is critical for them to get the win tomorrow against the Drua as performance is the biggest influence in their game.

Cron says they were really poor against the Waratahs although they put up a good half against the Crusaders.

The Drua play the Force at 6.05pm tomorrow at HBF Park, Perth.

In other games, the Highlanders host the Reds at 3.35 this afternoon, the Blues face the Crusaders at 6.05 tonight, and the Waratahs play the Brumbies at 8.35 tonight.

The Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua face the Force Women at 8.50pm tomorrow.
