The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are focused on trying to recycle the ball more quickly when they take on Moana Pasifika in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific Super Round clash tomorrow.

Coach Mick Byrne says they were a bit sloppy around the breakdown area and were a little bit casual around getting the ball down and getting it back quickly.

Byrne says they need to be more urgent around securing the ball when they hit the deck and keeping control of it.

He adds they know Moana will be a physical team and they will be going after them, so it is important that they get the ball out quickly and get their game going.

He further says the halfbacks have been working really hard this week in this area and that is to try and recycle the ball quickly and get their game going.

Byrne says they did this under a lot of pressure against the Blues last week so they are focused on improving on that area this week knowing the pressure that Moana will be bringing.

The Drua will take on Moana Pasifika at 6pm tomorrow.

In other matches this week, the Highlanders will take on the Blues at 7 tonight, the Rebels will play the Force at 9.10 tonight, the Crusaders will play the Waratahs at 8.35pm tomorrow, the Chiefs will play the Brumbies at 3pm Sunday, and the Hurricanes will play the Reds at 5.30pm Sunday.
