Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson says they have spoken to the players about the possibility of them still making the top six.

Jackson relayed this to fijivillage Sports from the Drua Base in Nadi, saying there is obviously a big scrap going on with the top six.

He says this weekend, they have to make sure that they really put on a performance that the boys are proud of in front of their fans.

The Drua coach says the Force had a great win last week against the Reds, and they have been playing really well the last few weeks. 

He says this week the Drua are not just playing for their position on the ladder but also for the people of Fiji.

The last time the two teams squared off was in round 14 last year, with the Drua winning 38-7.

The Fijian Drua play the Force at 4.35pm this Saturday at The Fortress, Lautoka. 

In other games, the Highlanders will meet the Brumbies at 7.05pm Friday, Moana Pasifika host the Chiefs in Tonga at 2.05pm Saturday, the Hurricanes will face the Blues at 7.05pm, while the Reds play the Crusaders at 9.35pm.
