We need to be physically dominant up front to prevent the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua from gaining momentum as they look forward to their clash against the Fijian Drua in round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific tomorrow.
Auckland Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu highlighted this following the team's captain's run at HFC Bank Stadium this afternoon.
Tuipulotu stresses the importance of staying connected on the defensive line to prevent the Drua from getting some good gain line.
