Drua to use strong scrum as an impact against Moana Pasifika

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be relying on their scrum to make an impact against an impressive Moana Pasifika forward pack this weekend when the two teams clash in round 11 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

Coach Glen Jackson highlighted that their scrummaging against the Waratahs last week was outstanding and they will look to use that against Moana Pasifika.

He says the Drua are balanced around their team he thinks there are certainly some players that have played a lot of rugby so far this year.

Jackson says they have been training really well, and sometimes a win can get a bit of a snowball effect and they carry on.

He says they handled the last 15 minutes well against the Waratahs last weekend and they held them out which was the winner for that game.

He adds they have looked at that and that is certainly something they are going to have to do against Moana Pasifika to carry on.

The Drua will take on the Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm this Saturday at North Habour Stadium, New Zealand.

In other matches this week, the Chiefs will host the Force at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will take on the Blues at 9.35pm Friday, the Highlanders will take on the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Brumbies will play the Hurricanes at 9.35pm Saturday.
