The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are under no illusion about their contest in Christchurch, against the Chiefs, in round 12 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific, despite their 28–24 win over them last year.

Head coach Glen Jackson told fijivillage Sports from Nadi that he is excited for both the players and the opportunity to be part of the Super Round at a quality stadium.

Jackson says that the Chiefs are coming off a strong win against the Hurricanes, which will give them plenty of confidence heading into the match.

He added that the Drua have what it takes to secure a win this week if they can be effective at the breakdown and replicate the performance they delivered against the Brumbies.
