The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are gearing up to create another upset this week against a star-studded Blues side in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 10 clash at Churchill Park.

Coach Mick Byrne says they are confident that history will be repeated in Lautoka this week and he believes the players are looking forward to it.

Byrne says the Blues are a fantastic team and they can produce tries from anywhere and they also have a good attacking and kicking game which they will have to be mindful of.

He adds All Blacks star Beauden Barretts’ kicking game and good skill sets will also be a threat that they will try and contain.

Byrne says he expects the boys to take on the challenge and says the boys are excited about it.

The Fijian Drua versus the Blues game will kick off at 2.05pm.

In other matches this week, the Hurricanes will host the Brumbies at 7.05pm Friday, the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 9.35pm Friday, the Moana Pasifika will take on the Rebels at 4.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will play the Crusaders at 7.05pm Saturday while the Reds play the Western Force at 9.35pm Saturday.
