Fast start key as Drua look to tame Waratahs

Fast start key as Drua look to tame Waratahs

The Fijian Drua cannot afford to allow the New South Wales Waratahs to play to their strengths and must shut them down early while maintaining intensity for the full 80 minutes.

Head coach Glen Jackson says from Nadi that every match presents an opportunity to win and grow as the competition progresses.

He says the players remain confident in the structures and systems they have been building and are focused on executing their game plan in tonight’s second-round clash of Super Rugby Pacific.

As the countdown continues, Jackson hopes the squad will use the frustration from their recent home loss as motivation and respond strongly against the Tahs.
