Swire Shipping Fijian Drua head coach Glen Jackson has openly admitted that his team has not been performing up to expectations this season. However, the Drua are committed to making amends by aiming to win their last two matches, including an upcoming clash against the Western Force in Lautoka this weekend. Jackson expressed the importance of securing victories to make it up to their fans, who have remained supportive despite the team’s struggles.
As the Drua sit at the bottom of the points table, this weekend’s match is a pivotal opportunity for redemption. Jackson has been stressing that his players are working hard to prepare, emphasizing their dedication to the game. “I know there are a lot of responsibility, expectation and pressure on our men to perform for our country… it’s only our fourth year in the competition,” Jackson remarked, as he urged fans to stay behind the team.
Previously, Jackson highlighted their efforts during a tough stretch where they faced defeats but had been competitive, earning bonus points in close games. They are hopeful that the home support will inspire a strong performance against the Western Force, as they attempt to leave a mark this season.
The Drua’s match against the Western Force takes place at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Saturday at 3:35 PM, and fans can catch the action live on FBC Sports. With the right focus and determination, there’s a genuine hope that the Drua can rise to the occasion and secure the wins they desperately need.
The spirit of resilience evident within the team, combined with the unwavering support from their fans, can lay the foundation for a positive turn in the Drua’s season. If they can channel their frustrations into strong performances in these final games, they may just create a narrative of revival and hope within the Fijian rugby community.
