We need to manage the last three to four minutes of the game, and we have talked about that as a squad.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson highlighted this to the media saying they are still a young team with no one having played 50 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific games yet.

He says every other team would probably have half their squad having done that already.

Jackson says on a maul they defended pretty well all game and then not taking the penalty near the end of the game, he adds the boys have been harder on themselves.

He says it will be about taking the learnings from that game and converting it into opportunities should they rise again on how to shut the game out.

The Drua take on the Chiefs at 3.35pm tomorrow.

In other games, the Blues will face the Brumbies at 6.35 tonight, Moana Pasifika will host the Hurricanes at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Waratahs will take on the Force at 8.35pm tomorrow, and the Crusaders will battle the Reds at 2.35pm this Sunday.
