We need to be better - Ikanivere

We need to be better - Ikanivere

I think we need to be better.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua hooker and vice captain Tevita Ikanivere highlighted this to fijivillage News after their round 5 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific game against the Waratahs.

Ikanivere says they are happy about the win but the boys are a bit down because they let the Waratahs back in which caused them pressure in the last minute till Kemu Valetini came through.

He says this is probably the fourth time that Valetini has come through for the team.

Ikanivere says they did not start well but they came back and were up by 16 points at half-time.

After their win yesterday, the Drua have moved up to 8th on the table with the Hurricanes in pole position with 22 points while defending champions the Crusaders are last with 2 points.

The Drua teams will reset and get ready to host the Western Force in their second double-header at Churchill Park this Saturday.
