I am proud of the way they performed and to be able to go the full 80 minutes against a good Hurricanes team was excellent.

Those are the words of Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne who says games like that can come down to the last kick of the game.

Byrne also says that is why they ride bumps in the game when they miss points, and things do not go their way during the game.

He further says on the weekend, the tight game went their way and they were the ones kicking and winning goals.

Byrne says they are ready for the Force tomorrow and the boys are raring to go.

The Drua will play the Force at 9.35pm tomorrow in Perth in their Round 12 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match.

In other games this week, the Chiefs play the Reds at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Hurricanes host Moana Pasifika at 4.35pm Saturday, the Crusaders play the Blues at 7.05pm, the Waratahs face the Rebels at 9.35pm, and the Brumbies host the Highlanders at 4.35pm Sunday.
