The heat in Lautoka will only work in Swire Shipping Fijian Drua’s favour if the team gets their job right.

Coach Mick Byrne says he knows the Auckland Blues have been training in some ‘heat’ conditions.

Byrne says if they do their job right, perform well and defend as they did in the second half of their match against the Chiefs, the heat will become a factor because the Drua will be asking the Blues to play with them.

The coach adds they are confident in their performance and they are growing everyday.

The Drua play the Blues at 2.05pm at Churchill Park tomorrow.

You can get your tickets at any Jacks of Fiji outlet, Lautoka City Council and selected Shop N Save Supermarkets.

In other games this weekend, the Hurricanes host the Brumbies at 7.05 tonight and the Waratahs play the Highlanders at 9.35pm.

Tomorrow, Moana Pasifika face the Rebels at 4.35pm, the undefeated Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05pm and the Reds play the Force at 9.35pm.
