Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says they need to be more accurate in their execution and hang on to the ball.

Byrne says they also need to get rid of those unforced errors which they did not have in the Rebels game.

He says this week’s game against Moana Pasifika is really important as they are now in the top 8 and they need to keep winning.

He says the beauty of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific is the bonus points.

The Drua coach says they have improved in their discipline and are hoping to continue to do that against Moana Pasifika this Saturday.

The Drua host Moana Pasifika at 2.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women will play NSW Waratahs in the Super Rugby Women’s final in Brisbane at 4pm Sunday.

In other games, the Crusaders meet the Rebels at 7.05pm Friday, the Waratahs play the Chiefs at 9.35pm Friday, the Brumbies face the Hurricanes at 4.35pm Saturday, the Highlanders meet the Force at 7.05pm Saturday while the Reds play the Blues at 9.35pm Saturday.
