The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will have to get their systems in place and stick to it well when they take on the Chiefs in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 4 this weekend.

This was revealed by coach Mick Byrne who says they need to get around the corner in their defensive system, get their numbers in the line and come forward hard.

Byrne says they have to do it for the whole game and it is going to be a challenge.

He says they know the Chiefs will be coming and going for 80 minutes, so they need to match that.

Byrne further says they started strong yesterday at training as they look to back up their win against the Crusaders last week.

The Drua will be heading into this weekend’s match-up looking to secure their first away game since 2022.

The Drua will play the Chiefs at 6.30pm this Saturday in Waikato.

In other matches this weekend, the Crusaders will host the Hurricanes at 6.06pm Friday, the Rebels will play the Reds at 8.35pm Friday, Western Force will take on Moana Pasifika at 11pm Friday, the Highlanders will host the Brumbies at 3.35pm Saturday and the Waratahs will play the Blues 8.35pm Saturday.
