Officiating is a hard job but some decisions made out there were just mind boggling.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach, Glen Jackson highlighted this after fijivillage Sports asked about how quick Etonia Waqa was shown a yellow card in the 8th minute.

Earlier in the week Jackson had spoken about being pretty disappointed in the way their game against the Crusaders was officiated, saying referee Paul Williamson put his hand up on a few things.

When asked about the amount of dropped balls by the team, Jackson says it is something they have been talking about for 5 years.

Jackson says it is not a shock that they are not looking after the ball well enough, because if they don't then they are constantly defending.

The Fijian Drua take on the Brumbies who will be out to avenge their 42-27 loss on Saturday at 9.35pm at GIO Stadium.

In other games, the Blues take on the Highlanders at 7.05pm Friday, the Waratahs host Moana Pasifika at 9.35pm.

On Saturday, the Chiefs will meet the Hurricanes at 7.05pm while the Force will face the Crusaders at 11.55pm.
