Queensland Reds winger Jock Campbell says it will be a tough battle for them this Saturday against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in their round 13 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash.

Campbell says the Drua have had some up and down results this season but he knows they always play well at home.

He says he has played a lot in Fiji through the National Rugby Championship and has always had a good experience.

Reds coach Les Kis says they know it is going to be a tough task with the Drua at home as they are unbelievable.

He says one of the most beautiful and amazing environments is the crowds in Fiji, it is one of those beautiful noises that can get in their head and they have to learn how to shut it out.

The Reds coach says he imagines the Drua are favourites because at home they are difficult for sure.

The Drua take on the Reds at 2.05pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In other games, the Hurricanes will take on Moana Pasifika at 7.05pm Friday, the Rebels will host the Chiefs at 9.35pm Friday, the Brumbies will play the Crusaders at 4.35pm Saturday, the Blues will battle the Highlanders at 7.05pm Saturday and the Force will host the Waratahs at 9.35pm Saturday.
