Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Glen Jackson has recognized the urgent need for a transformation in their training regimen as they prepare to face the Crusaders in Suva. After suffering a harsh 52-15 defeat to the Western Force, Jackson expressed his discontent with the team’s performance, highlighting the gap between their expectations and results. He indicated that their recent training efforts have not produced the desired outcomes, prompting a necessary revamp as they strive to improve.
This loss represents one of the most significant defeats in the Drua’s four-year history in Super Rugby, raising red flags about issues related to consistency and discipline within the squad. Jackson observed that the effort exerted in training was not reflected in their performance during the match, which calls for a reassessment of their strategies and focus.
“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 stated. The team plans to utilize their bye week for some introspection and critical strategizing ahead of their encounter with the formidable Crusaders at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva next Saturday at 3:35 PM.
