The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have a chance to play in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition playoffs and will need to beat the Queensland Reds as the visitors will be looking to spoil the party for the home side.

Former Reds loose forward, Radike Samo highlighted this and says the Reds will be coming in hungry for a win since it is going to be a do-or-die match for both teams.

Samo says the Reds will be looking to play 80 minutes rugby against the Drua, and it's going to be up to the boys whether they want to create history this year or not.

He says the Drua players need to play their own game and they need to keep the ball in hand and not to give away possession unnecessarily.

Meanwhile, Reds center Isaac Henry says they are ready for what the Fijian Drua will bring into the game and they are here to win.

Henry says the weather is on their side and they are hoping to capitalise on it.

The Drua take on the Reds at 4.35pm today at the HFC Bank Stadium.
