Fijian Drua Seek 80-minute effort against in-form Force

Fijian Drua Seek 80-minute effort against in-form Force

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua know they must deliver a full 80-minute performance when they face a confident Force side this Saturday.

Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson highlighted this to fijivillage Sports from their base in Nadi, saying that Ben Donaldson has been leading the Force effectively, controlling play well, and bringing a strong kicking game.

Jackson emphasised that the Drua’s back three will need to work especially hard to contain the Force’s in-form backline, which has been performing strongly in recent matches.

He added that the Drua are building momentum after two solid performances against tough opponents and are carrying those positives into this week’s game.
