The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have won both their home games this year and it has built confidence in the playing group as they prepare to take on the Auckland Blues at Churchill Park tomorrow.

This has been highlighted by coach Mick Byrne who says their match against the Blues sets up a great weekend of rugby and they should get a big crowd coming out to watch an exciting match.

He says the Blues play an exciting style of rugby which they saw last week against the Waratahs.

The Drua play the Blues at 2.05pm tomorrow.

You can get your tickets at any Jacks of Fiji outlet, Lautoka City Council and selected Shop N Save Supermarkets.

In other games this weekend, the Hurricanes host the Brumbies at 7.05 tonight and the Waratahs play the Highlanders at 9.35pm.

Tomorrow, Moana Pasifika face the Rebels at 4.35pm, the undefeated Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05pm and the Reds play the Force at 9.35pm.
