The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua can improve on their set piece in the remaining Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific matches against Moana Pasifika and Queensland Reds.

This was the view of legendary Flying Fijian lock Emori ‘Sky Lab’ Katalau.

According to the Super Rugby stats, the Drua has won 78.8 per cent of its Lineout Won and is placed at the bottom of the list.

“They (Drua) need to improve on their set piece and in this way we’re a better team than anyone else in the Super Rugby,” Katalau who is a Level 3 accredited coach told SUNsports yesterday.

“In the lineout, it’s how the lineout function. It’s not just the locks or jumpers as it’s also the hooker and the lifters. Their movement in working together as a unit to execute better lineouts.”

He pointed out the Drua should win against Moana Pasifika on Saturday.

“I will be watching the Moana Pasifika and Fijian Drua at Churchill Park this Saturday. I believe Fijian Drua will win their last two matches with a bonus point each as they got a good chance to qualify for the quarterfinal.”

The match kicks-off at 2.05pm.
