Drua must execute at the highest level against unbeaten Brumbies in Ba

Drua must execute at the highest level against unbeaten Brumbies in Ba

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will need to execute at the highest level week in and week out, especially against the unbeaten ACT Brumbies in Ba next week.

This has been highlighted by Fijian Drua trainer Joseph Sakoda from the team’s camp in Nadi.

Sakoda says bringing cohesion in a contact sport like rugby is crucial because it is a team sport, not an individual one.

He says players need to remind themselves to support one another as they work toward a common goal, scoring tries and winning games.

He adds that execution is key, and reinforcing that message will help the players perform for their families, fans, and each other.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs face Moana Pasifika at 6.05pm tomorrow, while the Waratahs play the Hurricanes later at 8.35pm.

The Highlanders meet the Force at 3.35pm on Saturday, Blues meet the Crusaders at 6.05pm and the Brumbies face the Reds later at 8.35pm.

The Drua are on a bye this week and will face the Brumbies at 3.35pm next Saturday in Ba.
