Drua to face crucial clash against Waratahs as finals race tightens

Drua to face crucial clash against Waratahs as finals race tightens

Stakes are high for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua as they prepare to face the Waratahs next week at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, with the battle for a top six spot intensifying.

Head coach Glen Jackson says the team must return to basics and execute well to win their remaining matches.

He further says that the players are confident heading into their home game.

Jackson says mistakes have been costly, allowing opponents back into games, and the team is working to minimise these errors.

Round 14 of the Super Rugby Pacific season will be the Drua’s final home game, and the atmosphere in camp remains positive as the coach aims to end the season on a high note.

Both teams are closely placed in the standings after Round 12, sitting in 7th and 8th positions, making this a virtual knockout match to keep their finals hopes alive.

The Drua are on a bye this week.
