Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne has revealed that at the moment it is early in the season and their game plan is not going to change that much.

This comes as they prepare for their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 3 crunch match against defending champions the Crusaders tomorrow.

He says they have some tactical things that they look out for when playing against different teams in the competition but that is within their game plan.

Byrne says they have some sort of tactical work that does not change and sometimes it varies a little bit.

He adds they were disappointed that they did not get the win last week and also with some aspects of their game but some other times they did look good as they scored a couple of good tries.

The Drua will be looking to repeat their shocking win over the Crusaders last year at the same venue and defend their home turf.

On the other hand, the Crusaders will want to avoid a 0-3 record this season as the last time they had a record like this was back in 1996.

The Drua will take on the Crusaders at 1.05pm at Churchill Park, Lautoka tomorrow.

The ticket prices for this match are $20 flat for adults and children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old in the North grass, and $35 for adults and $20 for children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old in the East grass. In the Waitui stands, $50 for adults and $25 for children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old. The prices for Timber Stand 2 are $70 for adults and $35 for children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old and Timber Stand 1, is $95 for adults and $50 for children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old. For the silver Southwest stand, $100 for adults and $50 for children from the ages of 2 to 12 years old. The gold southwest stand and platinum stand will be $150 flat. In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will take on the Rebels at 6.05 tonight, the Waratahs will play the Highlanders at 8.35 tonight, the Brumbies will host the Western Force at 3.35pm tomorrow, the Hurricanes will play the Blues at 6.05pm tomorrow and the Reds will take on the Chiefs at 8.35pm tomorrow.
