Another great challenge awaits the Fiji Airways Drua as they travel to Canberra to face the Vikings who are sitting in fourth place in the NRC points table.

There has been a lot of excitement from Fijians in Canberra as they look forward to hosting the Drua this Friday.

With no serious injuries, the Drua are expected to have some changes to their lineup.

Captain John Stewart believes they still have a lot of areas to improve on and will continue to focus on their defence which was the key part of their victory over the NRC defending champion Perth Spirit.

From round one, coach Senirusi Seruvakula has been trying out different options in the backline with Stewart and Eroni Sau trying out different positions.

Stewart has stamped his mark on the wing making crucial tackles and leading his side to some great tries last week.

Meanwhile, Rob Valetini is expected to be named in the Vikings starting lineup after his impressive performance from round one.

The Drua will take on the Vikings at 9.30pm Friday.
