Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua coach Mosese Rauluni has revealed that they will need to keep the penalty count down and stick to their guns when they take on the Melbourne Rebels Women this weekend in round 5 of the Super Rugby Women’s competition.

Rauluni says discipline is a real factor and they will need to stop giving away silly penalties that could prove too costly for them this weekend.

Rauluni says the Rebels will be hurting from their loss to the Reds and they will be looking to come back stronger this weekend, especially in front of their home fans.

He says every game has a process and they got to fix a lot of processes from the game against the Brumbies last weekend.

Rauluni is calling on all supporters to come out in numbers this weekend in Melbourne and support the team in their bid to secure a home semi final.

The Drua Women will only need 1 point from their match against the Rebels this weekend to secure a home semi final and make history by having a first-ever Super Rugby knockout game in Fiji.

The Drua will play the Rebels at 7.05pm this Saturday in Melbourne.

Meanwhile, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Men will be on a bye this week and will play the Hurricanes at 7.05pm next Friday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
