Heading into round 10 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua hooker and stand-in captain Mesulame Dolokoto has emphasised that they will not stop trying to get a win, as they will keep giving it a go.

Speaking after their 43-20 loss to the Highlanders over the weekend, Dolokoto says the message to them at halftime of that match was to keep giving it a go.

He says the message to the boys was clear and that was to keep giving it a go even if the result does not go their way.

He adds he reminded the boys after the match that though they did not get the result that they wanted, at least they did not lack trying.

Dolokoto says the results depend on the work that they do on the field.

The Drua will host the Waratahs in Lautoka this week and will hope to get a win and keep their finals hope alive.

They will need to win their remaining 6 matches and hope that other results will fall in their favour if they need to make it into the top 6.

They are currently sitting in 11th place with 7 points so far after 9 rounds.

The Drua will take on the Waratahs at 2.05pm this Saturday at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

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