The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be under no illusions of how good the Hurricanes will be this weekend and also what they have come off when the two teams clash in round 2 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.
Coach Glen Jackson says the Hurricanes are coming off a close loss to the Crusaders last week, so they will be hurting a bit as well.
Jackson says one thing he has been highlighting to his team, which they know from the Hurricanes, is their breakdown.
He says the Drua lost the breakdown battle against Brumbies, so the Hurricanes will be coming hard in that area and the Drua has got to look after that.
Jackson says he is looking to make a few changes this week in the team as they have prepared for the first three games knowing they have got a fair bit of travel.
He says not only do they have home games, but they have got a pretty tough road this season, so they have to balance what they are doing in terms of their players.
He adds it is a balancing act and they want to make sure that most players get a run, but also around what's best for the team and how they go moving forward.
The Drua will take on the Hurricanes at 3.35pm this Saturday in McLean Park, Wellington.
In other matches this week, the Chiefs will host the Crusaders at 6.05pm Friday, the Reds will play Moana Pasifika at 8.35pm Friday, the Highlanders will take on the Blues at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Brumbies will play the Force at 8.35pm Saturday.
