Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson says they did not step up for the fans.

Jackson highlighted in their post match interview with the media saying it was also a shame they could not get a win for their five debuting players.

He says it is important now for them to take what positives they had in the game.

The Drua coach says Moana Pasifika fullback William Havili had a great kicking game which took away most of the advantage they had in the first half

He says they now have a short turn around with the Waratahs game coming up on Friday while Moana plays the Hurricanes.

Regarding their bench, Jackson says Isikeli Rabitu did a really good job, co-captain Frank Lomani brought a lot of energy, and young Isoa Tuwai was very good in the back row.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 8.35pm Friday at Allianz Stadium.

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