Former Super Rugby team the Western Force are vividly aware of the threat posed by the Fiji Airways Drua in their NRC game tonight and have named a solid line-up to try and snatch the minor premier title from the Drua.

Former Queensland player, Rod Davies style of play will be crucial for the Force when battling the Drua.

Davies' five tries this NRC season have shown that he has not lost a yard of his trademark pace.

Ian Prior has been named as the captain for the Western Force in their clash against the Fiji Drua.

A win against the Drua would put the Force in a position to achieve their primary goal for the season and that is to become the Minor Premier champions.

The Drua will take on the Western Force at nib stadium in Perth at 6pm tonight.
