Swire Shipping Fijian Drua back rower Raikabula Momoedonu says making his way back into rugby was the biggest target that he had set and has achieved.

The Viseisei man says after being knocked out with an injury, he worked hard to get back into the playing group.

He says his main focus this year is to keep his body in the right condition and making sure he is well prepared for selection every week.

The 25-year-old says the thing about playing rugby is players get injured but it is how they make a comeback from it that is crucial.

The Fijian Drua will take on the Waratahs at 8.35pm Saturday in Melbourne in the second round of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

In other Super Rugby Pacific games this weekend, the Crusaders will play the Highlanders at 7pm on Friday, Melbourne Rebels will play the Hurricanes at 9pm Friday, Moana Pasifika will take on the Chiefs at 6.05pm Saturday, the Blues will play the Brumbies at 3pm Sunday and the Queensland Reds will play the Western Force at 5.30pm Sunday.
