Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne has revealed that they will have to meet the Chiefs head on knowing the capabilities they have especially playing on their home turf this weekend.

Byrne says the Chiefs are like the Crusaders as they are a well-established team with professional players right across the field with the way they prepare.

He says they play a very well-structured game and they are going to come out firing after their shocking loss to the Reds last week, so the Drua will be looking to counter whatever the Chiefs will throw at them.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs, after suffering a shocking 25-19 loss to the Reds last week, will be looking to come back stronger this weekend and also defend their home turf.

The Drua will play the Chiefs at 6.30pm this Saturday in Waikato. The Drua currently sits at 10th place on the points table with 5 points after 3 rounds while the Chiefs sit in 2nd place with 10 points.

The Hurricanes currently lead the points table with 13 points.

In other matches this weekend, the Crusaders will host the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Friday, the Rebels will play the Reds at 8.35pm Friday, Western Force will take on Moana Pasifika at 11pm Friday, the Highlanders will host the Brumbies at 3.35pm Saturday and the Waratahs will play the Blues at 8.35pm Saturday.
