Queensland Reds flanker Seru Uru says they are expecting nothing short of a battle on Saturday when they take on the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua for their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match-up.
The side touched down at the Nadi International Airport last night, and Uru is happy to be back home once again.
Uru has been watching the Drua closely this season, and he knows what to expect when he takes on his Fijian brothers.
“It’s good to be home, been looking forward to this game, and we really hope fans will come out in numbers to watch us play.”
He hopes fans will come out and fill the stands just like they did in Ba last weekend, and watch some exciting Super Rugby action.
Meanwhile, the Queensland Reds’ kicking game will be a key focus for the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua as they prepare to face the visitors this Saturday in Lautoka
Head coach Glen Jackson acknowledged the Reds’ strength in this area, noting that they currently lead the competition in kicks per game this season. He expects the visitors to use this tactic strategically to disrupt the Drua’s style of play.
Despite anticipating this approach, Jackson emphasized that his side will remain committed to their own brand of rugby, aiming to deliver an exciting performance for their home fans rather than being dictated by the opposition’s tactics.
“The big thing is that we don’t get bored they’re the kicking game, and our back field is really important, and also just play a lot of rugby. They are fantastic team, very well coached,” he said.
