Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson has acknowledged the need for significant changes in their training approach ahead of their upcoming match against the Crusaders in Suva. Following a disappointing 52-15 loss to the Western Force, Jackson expressed frustration over the current performance level, which fell short of the team’s expectations. He noted that recent efforts in preparation did not yield the required results, signaling a need for a shake-up as they move forward.
The Drua’s defeat marks one of their heaviest losses in four seasons of Super Rugby, raising concerns about consistency and discipline within the team. Jackson reflected on the mismatch between the hard work put into training and the results on the field, emphasizing their need to refocus and reassess their strategies.
“The preparation we undertook was insufficient, leading to our poor showing against the Force. As we look toward facing the Crusaders, it is crucial for us to reset our focus and approach,” Jackson commented. The team will take advantage of their bye week to conduct some soul-searching and essential strategizing before they clash with the formidable Crusaders at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva next Saturday at 3:35 PM.
