We have just played a few rounds of knockout footy as our last two games were cut-throat and we are ready.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head coach, Mick Byrne stated this when questioned on if they are ready for the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific defending champions the Crusaders this weekend.

Byrne says they have been getting ready for the last three weeks.

He says it is the same preparation, if they do not get across the line this week, then it is over.

The Drua coach adds they are ready for the physicality.

The Drua will play the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday.

In other quarter finals, the Blues will host the Waratahs at 7.35pm Friday, the Chiefs will take on the Reds at 4.35pm Saturday and the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.35pm Saturday.
