Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head Coach Mick Byrne knows the Melbourne Rebels will be coming full steam tonight in round three of Super Rugby Pacific.
The Drua coach believes they have to be ready for that and they’ll be bracing themselves.
Byrne says tonight’s match will be different from what they experienced in a warmup with the Rebels three weeks ago.
“It’ll be a different pack than we played against in the pre-season we are fully aware of that but we need to have the same attitude to the game we had when we meet them upfront, hold onto the ball, get through our game phases and ask questions of their defense”.
Our Fijian Drua faces the Rebels at 8.45 pm tonight at Sunshine Coast Stadium and it will air live on FBC Sports on the Walesi platform.
Bula vuvale, here’s your Swire Shipping Fijian Drua squad for Round 3 of @SuperRugby vs @MelbourneRebels.
