The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua need to win against the Western Force tomorrow to ensure they stay in the top eight of the 2024 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.
With round 12 marking Culture Round this weekend, the eighth-placed Drua need to find their form away from home to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
A win could take the Drua to seventh spot provided the Highlanders lose to the Crusaders. A loss for Drua and a win for Moana Pasifika against the Chiefs could see Mick Byrne’s team out of the top eight.
Byrne believes the 20-28 loss to the Brumbies in Canberra last week has given his players a lot of confidence to take down the Force in Perth and end a five-game losing away streak this season.
The Force, pegged at the foot of the standings, are aware of the threat the Drua bring and will be out to put a dent on their last eight aspirations.
The match at HBF Park in Perth kicks off at 11.55pm. Angus Mabey of New Zealand is the referee.
