Blues coach Leon MacDonald says it will be a tough contest in Fiji against the Drua this weekend in round 10 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

Having welcomed back flanker Akira Ioane from injury, they then lost fullback Stephen Perofeta and prop Nepo Laulala to what MacDonald described as 'significant' injuries.

MacDonald also says it is as big as any game in this competition and the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are unbeaten at home this year adding he is assuming Mick Byrne will be looking forward to it.

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

In other games this weekend, the Hurricane host the Brumbies tomorrow at 7.05pm, the Waratahs play the Highlanders at 9.35pm and on Saturday Moana Pasifika face the Rebels at 4.35pm, the top of the table Chiefs host the Crusaders at 7.05 and then the Reds play the Force at 9.35pm.
