Every game that we play now is important as we are in the top eight, so we have to keep winning.

With six games left till the eliminations, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach, Mick Byrne highlighted this to the media before their crucial game against Moana Pasifika.

Byrne says now is the time to start winning their away games.

The Drua play 3 at home against Moana Pasifika, the Reds and the Rebels while the Highlanders, the Force and the Brumbies will be on the road.

The Drua coach says the Moana Pasifika side is very physical have come on this year just like how their players are in their third year as well.

He says they are a very physical pack around their scrum and so they have been working on those areas to counter them this week.

The Drua play Moana at 2.05pm in Churchill Park Lautoka and the gates will open at 12pm.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women meet the NSW Waratahs at 4pm tomorrow in the Super Rugby Women final.
