Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson says they are pretty lucky with the depth they have in their squad, in terms of Test quality and super rugby quality.

Jackson says with the players they have kept over the last four years and those that have been added, have strengthened the squad.

He says with two great fly halves in Caleb Muntz and Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula adding they are extremely lucky to have two quality 10’s

The Drua coach says the halfbacks are really great as well with Frank Lomani being co-captain backed up by Peni Matawalu, Simione Kuruvoli as well as young Philip Baselala.

Jackson says competition is high in the team as they will have a hard time trying to name their starting 23 from their 30 member fit squad.

The Drua host the Brumbies for Valetini Day at 3.35pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.

In other matches, the Crusaders will meet the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Friday, the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 8.35pm Friday, the Blues will face the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Force will play Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Saturday.
