Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne says they need to stay focused and prepare themselves for a big physical clash against the Highlanders in their round 14 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash this weekend.

Byrne says when the Highlanders played the Blues last week, they had a similar result to the one the Drua had in Perth against the Force last two weeks, so they will have to be ready for the home side.

He says there has been a little bit of a challenge around the top 8 of a 12 team competition and what people forget is that the competition stays alive until the last round.

Byrne says the motivation for the team is finals footy which is in their hands and they need to perform well and play well.

The Highlanders host the Drua at the House of Pain in Dunedin at 2.05pm this Sunday.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs play the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Friday, the Brumbies host the Rebels at 9.35pm Friday, Moana Pasifika take on the Waratahs at 4.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders play the Blues at 7.05pm Saturday, and the Reds meet the Force at 9.35pm Saturday.
