Fiji Airways Fijian Drua head coach Senirusi Seruvakula is confident of a bonus point win over Queensland Country in the final round of the National Rugby Championship at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka today.
Seruvakula added that playing Queensland Country is tough as they have beaten them three times since 2017.
The Drua managed to turn the table and beat Country 36-26 in last year‘s NRC final at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
“I’m confident that we’re going to go out there and play our guts out,” he said.
“This is a do-or-die for both teams and for us we want to make to make it to the semifinal. The boys know how important this game is.
“We’ve put in our experience players like Waqatabu (Apisalome) who is at full-back.
“We’re also bringing back Kurumudu (Levani) and Johnny Dyer.
“We’ve retained the combination of 12 and 13 and also we’ve brought back players that played in the final last year.
“This is the motivational game for them.
“Queensland will come in with confidence and they will try to exploit our mistakes.”
Seruvakula said his players need to improve on their discipline.
