The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be relying on the Blues and the Brumbies to win their respective Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific matches this week to have a chance to qualify for the quarterfinals.

Looking at the points table, the Drua are sitting in 10th place with 21 points, the Force are ninth with 22 points, the Highlanders are in eighth place with 23 points and the Reds have 24 points.

The Drua will hope the Blues will be triumphant over the Highlanders tonight and the Brumbies defeat the Rebels.

If this occurs this weekend, the Drua will need to beat the Reds at home to make it as one of the top eight teams.

The Drua and the Reds have played each other twice and both matches were decided by a margin of 5 points or less. The Reds have won both previous encounters.

The Drua will host the Reds at 4.35pm tomorrow at the HFC Bank Stadium.

Gates at the HFC Bank Stadium will open at 1.35pm.

In other matches, the Blues will play the Highlanders at 7.05 tonight, the Brumbies meet the Rebels at 9.35 tonight, the Hurricanes host the Crusaders at 7.05pm tomorrow, the Waratahs play Moana Pasifika at 9.35pm tomorrow and the Western Force host the Chiefs at 12am Sunday.
