Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson is backing his forwards as he goes for a 6-2 split on the bench against the Brumbies in their round 5 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash this Saturday.

Speaking from their base in Nadi Jackson says they are super proud of the performance their forward pack put up against the Hurricanes in Lautoka.

He says the impact from their bench cannot be overstated as they will hope to unleash Ba man, Isoa Tuwai, on the visitors from the bench.

The Drua coach says that he has briefed his men that the game is won or lost in the breakdown.

In other games, the Hurricanes play the Force at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Crusaders will meet the Highlanders at 6.05pm Saturday, the Reds meet the Waratahs at 8.35pm, while the Blues host Moana Pasifika at 2.35pm Sunday.
