Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says the big thing for them is their mindset going into this weekend against the Western Force for their round 12 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific game.

Byrne says they have to be mentally ready as they knew they were up against it playing the Brumbies in Canberra and now taking on the Force in Perth.

He says both these teams have good home-ground advantage and results.

The coach says they know the four games they have left now are in their hands, and they have to keep winning to stay in the top 8.

The last time these two sides met, the Drua won 31-13 in round 6 in a rainy affair in Lautoka.

The Drua play the Force at 1.55pm Saturday.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will take on the Rebels at 9.35pm Friday, 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.
