The key thing for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua is to have the same level of defence that they displayed in the first 20 minutes of the second half of the match against the Chiefs when they take on the Blues this weekend at Churchill Park.

This has been highlighted by coach Mick Byrne who says they expect the Drua to take on the challenge against the Blues.

He says they are not bogged down by the pressure of the outcome but they are focused on their efforts to perform.

The squad is expected to be named later today.

You can get your tickets at any Jacks of Fiji outlet, Lautoka City Lautoka City Council and selected Shop N Save Supermarkets.

The Drua play the Blues at 2.05pm Saturday at Churchill Park.

In other games this weekend, the Hurricane host the Brumbies tomorrow at 7.05pm, the Waratahs play the Highlanders at 9.35pm and on Saturday Moana Pasifika face the Rebels at 4.35pm, the top of the table Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05 and then the Reds play the Force at 9.35pm.
