Swire Shipping Fijian Drua head coach Glen Jackson is urging his team to prepare for a fierce challenge against the Brumbies in Canberra tonight. Following their recent 28-24 victory over the Gallagher Chiefs, Jackson emphasized the importance of focusing on the present and not getting overconfident.
“The win was significant, but we have to put it behind us and look forward,” Jackson stated. “We are on an upward trend, and it was great to play in front of a big crowd in Lautoka. However, we cannot take this moment lightly as it’s going to be a long season.”
Jackson is particularly wary of the Brumbies, who will bring a fully-fit squad into this matchup following strong performances in previous games. He acknowledged their quality, noting, “They are a quality side under a quality coach, with a few players returning from injury.”
The Drua are keen to capitalize on the lessons learned from their past encounters and away games. Jackson is optimistic as the team harnesses the momentum from their recent victory, aiming for a significant away win—something they have struggled with historically. “Our boys have taken the learnings from our last two away games and want to put into practice what we got from there,” he added.
Fans are hopeful that the Drua’s combination of young talent and experienced players could finally lead them to victory against the Brumbies. This clash is more than just a match; it symbolizes an opportunity for growth and showcases the resilience spirit inherent to Fijian rugby. As they take on this daunting opponent, the Drua embody the hopes and aspirations of their supporters.
This match not only represents a critical moment in their Super Rugby Pacific campaign but also a potential turning point for the Drua as they strive to establish a stronger foothold in the competition.
