The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua will be heading into this weekend’s Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash against the Highlanders with a motive to win.

Head coach, Mick Byrne says they have a lot of learning to take away from last week’s narrow 27-24 loss to the Reds and they will look to improve their performance this weekend.

He says the Highlanders will be a tough competitor despite the setbacks with injuries and with the return of some of their key players this weekend, they will be looking to continue from where they left off from their win against Western Force last week.

Byrne says the Highlanders will be tough to beat especially playing in front of their home fans and they will be looking to have some confidence after their first win last week but the Fijian Drua will be ready for the challange.

The Fijian Drua will play the Highlanders at 3.35pm Saturday in Dunedin.

In other games this weekend, the Crusaders will take on the Brumbies at 6.05pm Friday, the Waratahs play the Chiefs at 8.35pm Friday, Moana Pasifika takes on the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday, the Rebels play the Reds at 8.35pm Saturday while the Blues play the Force at 2.35pm Sunday.
