The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua are under no illusions about the mammoth task ahead of them in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.
Fijian Drua Chief Executive Mark Evans says the 34-10 defeat to the Blues last week has given the players a taste of the standard of competition they need to be at for the remainder of the season.
Evans says the Mick Byrne-coached side can no longer count any team out, particularly against a much-improved Moana Pasifika team this weekend.
“It’s going to be a tough game, there really aren’t any easy games in Super Rugby Pacific. All the teams are well organized and well prepared and Moana Pasifika are no exception. We are expecting a tough examination and hopefully, we come out on the right side.”
The Fijian Drua will take on the Moana Pasifika at 6 pm tomorrow at AAMI Park in Melbourne in this week’s Super Round.
In other round two games, the Blues meet the Highlanders at 7 tonight while the Melbourne Rebels will take on the Western Force at 9:10pm.
Tomorrow, the Crusaders meet the Waratahs at 8:35pm while on Sunday, the Chiefs battle the Brumbies at 3pm and the Hurricanes take on the Reds at 5:30pm.
