One point separates the 10th-placed Swire Shipping Fijian Drua and the 9th-placed Western Force heading into their round 9 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash this Saturday at The Fortress.
The Force are coming into this game on a high after besting the sixth-placed Reds 42-19 on Saturday, while the Fijian Drua were annihilated by the Crusaders 69-26.
With the Drua out to prove that they are still a threat at home, the Force will want to point out to the rest of the competition that Saturday's results were not a fluke.
With an 8-day turnaround, Glen Jackson and his boys should have had enough time to prepare a good defence against the Western Australia team.
The last time the two sides met was in round 14 last year, where the Drua won 38-7.
The Fijian Drua play the Force at 4.35pm Saturday in Lautoka.
In other games, the Highlanders play the Brumbies at 7.05pm Friday, and Moana Pasifika will meet the Chiefs at 2.35pm Saturday, the Blues take on the Hurricanes in a top of the table clash at 7.05pm, while the Reds will meet the Crusaders at 9.35pm.
