Lets learn from this loss, today's result does not change the belief I have in this team. 

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua co-captain Temo Mayanavanua highlighted this in the locker room after their 40-26 loss to Moana Pasifika yesterday saying he still believes that they can go all the way.

Mayanavanua says it was emotional to run out there with the boys especially in this competition.

Insert: Mayanavanua not the end Feb 15

Mayanavanua told the team they have a six day turn around to recover well.

He told them come Monday to get ready to roll again in training.

The Drua play the Waratahs at 8.35pm Friday.

In other games, the Hurricanes host Moana Pasifika at 6.05pm Friday, the Highlanders play the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday, the Force face the Blues at 8.35pm Saturday while the Crusaders meet the Brumbies at 2.35pm Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Brumbies currently top the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific table with 5 points ahead of the Waratahs also with 5 and Moana with 4 points.

The Drua are in ninth place with the Western Force in last.
