The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are out for revenge this week when they take on the Brumbies in round 5 of Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

The Drua lost to the Brumbies 36-32 in their first match this season.

Coach Glen Jackson says their goal this week is to change the record they have against the Brumbies, which is to secure a win in Canberra.

Jackson says they are also working on the team's discipline and how they can change the communications they have with the referee and gain their respect.

He adds the performance of the match officials over the weekend against the Chiefs was good, and their main focus now is to look at their discipline and performance in away games.

The coach says they conceded 8 penalties last week and they need to improve on that.

The Fijian Drua will face the Brumbies at 8.35 tonight at GIO Stadium, Canberra.

In other matches this week, the Highlanders will play the Hurricanes at 6.05 tonight, the Crusaders will take on the Western Force at 3.35pm tomorrow, the Chiefs will battle the Blues at 6.05pm tomorrow, and the Reds will play the Waratahs at 8.35pm tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women’s side will play the Brumbies Women at 3.35pm tomorrow at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
