After an impressive performance in Canberra against the Brumbies, the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have moved up to eighth place in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific points table.

They are five points away from defending champions, the Crusaders, who are sitting in sixth place with 21 points, and there is a three-point difference from seventh place, the NSW Waratahs.

With five matches remaining this season before the playoffs, the road to the top six is quite promising for them.

Coach Glen Jackson earlier shared his confidence that the team can still make the top six.


Meanwhile, the Chiefs and the Hurricanes are equal on 31 points, but due to points difference, the Chiefs are in first place while the Hurricanes are second.

The Blues’ 47-40 win over the Highlanders has placed them in third place with 29 points, while the Brumbies are fourth with 25 points.

Looking at this week's matches, the Crusaders will take on the Waratahs at 7.35pm Friday, the Hurricanes will meet the Brumbies at 5.05pm Saturday, the Blues will take on the Reds at 7.35pm, the Highlanders will face Moana Pasifika at 2pm Sunday, and the Chiefs will host the Fijian Drua at 4.30pm.
