The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are no strangers to Christchurch as they lost to the defending Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific champions, the Crusaders 61-3 last year, however, the Drua’s 25-24 victory in Round 3 will give the Fijians a bit of confidence heading into the quarter finals this week.
Kemu Valetini’s penalty kick will still linger in the hearts of the Crusaders and they know that this week will be another challenge.
After their 41-17 win against the Reds last week, Head coach Mick Byrne says the players hold themselves back sometimes because they either respect the opposition.
He says sometimes they don't have the confidence to just go out and express themselves, but this week it will be down to what an individual player can bring out.
The Drua will meet the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday.
In other quarter finals, the Blues will host the Waratahs at 7.35pm Friday, the Chiefs will take on the Reds at 4.35pm Saturday and the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.35pm Saturday.
