The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be looking to start well against the Waratahs in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific round 13 clash this weekend.

Coach Mick Byrne says they will also try and prevent the Waratahs from taking advantage of their home crowd and playing their style of rugby at home.

Byrne says they know they can match the Waratahs’ talent out wide and their physicality but they will try and work on filling the gap that they lacked last week against the Western Force and that is to bring more energy into the game.

He says the boys have moved on from their loss last week and are focused on another huge task ahead of them this week as they will need to get points out of this match to keep their hopes alive for a place in the playoffs.

The Fijian Drua will play the Waratahs in round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific at 9.35pm Saturday.

In other matches this week, Moana Pasifika will host the Crusaders at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will take on the Blues at 9.35pm Friday, the Highlanders will take on the Rebels at 4.35pm Saturday, the Chiefs will play the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday while the Force will take on the Brumbies at 12am Sunday.
