“The first game is always the tough one and I think the boys are preparing well for the past two weeks. I think we will give our best so that we can get the win.”

The side finished third last year after bagging four wins and then lost in the semifinal to Queensland Country by 52-21.

The Drua takes on the Melbourne Rising at 3pm in Nausori’s Ratu Cakobau Park on Saturday.
