Walton, not Suaalii, the real threat to Drua - Jackson

While everyone is talking about Wallabies centre Joseph Suaalii, Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson says the one to watch out for is Waratahs inside centre Joey Walton who won most stats around the competition last year.

Jackson stated this to fijivillage Sports from their base in Sydney, saying he thinks thinks Walton is world-class.

The Drua has found it challenging in the last few seasons to win away from home, Jackson says they do not really talk about it, as it is their first away game this year. 

Jackson says he knows the boys have a bit of pent-up anger from their performance over the weekend, and there is nothing better than a six-day turnaround to get on the field.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 8.35 tonight at Allianz Stadium, Sydney.

In other games, the Hurricanes host Moana Pasifika at 6.05 tonight, the Highlanders will meet the Chiefs at 6.05pm tomorrow, the Force will face the Blues at 8.35pm tomorrow while the Crusaders play the Brumbies at 2.35pm on Sunday.
