We need to do what we set our goal on this year, and that is to hang on to the ball and ask questions of the defence.

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach Mick Byrne stated this at the captain's run saying they have not done that as well as they would have liked.

He says in their squad, everyone that is not playing is preparing to play.

When questioned if the weather was to their liking with it being cloudy, Byrne says they cannot get everything they want.

He says it is what they do and how they focus.

The Drua Coach is asking fans to come out in numbers and do what they always do as the best fans in the world.

Captain Meli Derenalagi says after reviewing their last two games, they have picked out their weaknesses and will work towards improving this during their game tomorrow. Derenalagi says they are positive they can pull out a win and is urging their supporters to come out in numbers tomorrow to cheer the team on.

The Drua play the Crusaders at 1.05pm tomorrow at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

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.
