Swire Shipping Fijian Drua head coach Glen Jackson admits that missed opportunities remain an area the team must improve after their 40–15 loss to the Blues in last night’s Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash.

The Drua started strongly in the first half but allowed the game to slip away after the break.

Despite the loss, the team is satisfied with their effort and remains focused on giving their best each week.
