The battle at the breakdown will be crucial when the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua take on the Chiefs, with the outcome in that area likely to determine the winner.
Drua head coach Glen Jackson told fijivillage Sports from Nadi that the Chiefs are highly aggressive and dominant at the breakdown, especially with their current loose forward combination, making the contest a tough challenge.
Jackson said the Drua have reviewed the Chiefs’ performance from last week and are aware of their strong ball-carrying ability in the midfield.
