The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua players are determined to secure a quarter-final spot and have been putting in intense work at training to make it happen.

Head coach Glen Jackson shared this with fijivillage Sports from their base in Nadi today.

Jackson says that the team has been fully focused on the Chiefs since Monday’s training session.

He says that with confidence building within the squad, they are approaching the match with a positive mindset as they push for their third win.

Jackson also reflected on the significance of his previous victory in Canberra as a player for the Chiefs, describing it as a special achievement, and said that repeating that success as a coach was equally meaningful for him and the team.

The Drua will take on the Chiefs this Sunday in Christchurch at 4:30pm.

In other games, the Crusaders will face the Waratahs at 7.35pm Friday, the Hurricanes will meet the Brumbies at 5.05pm Saturday, the Blues play the Reds at 7.35pm, while the Highlanders will face Moana Pasifika at 2pm Sunday.
