Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Glen Jackson says they have done everything they can this week to prepare for their round two Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash with the NSW Waratahs.

Jackson highlighted this to fijivillage Sports from their base camp in Sydney saying the one to watch out for is Tahs inside centre Joey Walton, who won most stats around the competition last season.

Fijivillage Sports asked, as this is the best Drua team on paper will it translate on the field, to which Jackson says they select a team, and he knows the players are ready to play, so they will see how they turn up, and he is looking forward to seeing their efforts.

Over the last few years, the two teams have met four times, with the Drua winning two and the Tahs winning two, with both of those wins at home.

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.
