On top of the table after five wins in the National Rugby Championship, Fiji Airways Drua coach Senirusi Seruvakula says they have restored confidence in their ability to compete with Australian teams.

In 2017, the Drua finished third in their inaugural NRC campaign with four wins from eight games.

Six weeks into the 2018 season, the Fijians are leading the truncated eight team competition with 23 points.

Coach Senirusi Seruvakula says they are expecting a powerful forwards from the Force.

“They have a big forward pack and our boys needs to be urgent and tackling and defending that mall and that’s the area we looking at.”

Drua takes on Western Force at 6pm Saturday in Australia.
