Swire Shipping Fijian Drua co-captain Temo Mayanavanua says they need to start strong.

Mayanavanua highlighted this after their 40-26 loss to Moana Pasifika, saying they cannot depend on a try or a penalty to wake them up.

He says if they take the initiative to start strong and take control of the game, that is 100 percent in their control.
