Drua brace for a tough challenge against leaders Chiefs

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be bracing themselves for another huge challenge as they will try and topple the unbeaten Chiefs on their home turf in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 9 clash tomorrow.

Coach Mick Byrne says the Chiefs play some different styles of rugby and they have a good open-field game.

He says the Chiefs are tough upfront and they will make sure they meet them in the physicality of the game.

Byrne says they are gaining a lot of confidence in the way they are playing and last week the boys realized that they make some good grounds if they carry hard.

He says the Chiefs have named a strong side this week and they will want to stay at the top of the table but regardless of the team that they field, they still have a good depth in their side.

The Fijian Drua will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm tomorrow in Waikato.

In other matches this week, the Rebels take on the Crusaders at 9.35pm tomorrow, the Blues will take on the Waratahs at 7.05pm on Saturday, while the Western Force will play the Highlanders at 9.35pm Saturday.
