The Fijian Drua will need to work on their scrum as they prepare to host Hurricanes in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash.
Lock Isoa Nasilasila said the momentum was on Waratahs side in their 13-26 loss hence the battle in the scrum.
“I think it’s us, for us, we just had to come together, fix what we’re doing wrong and do the next job,” Nasilasila said.

“Obviously, they were getting up ahead. I mean, they (Waratahs) got a good front row.”
Head coach Glen Jackson added: “I think they probably got away with a little bit of hit and chase, a little bit on the engage, and we probably didn’t work - that’s us to work out about more.
“And obviously our communication with the referee around, you know, once you got that hit and chase, it’s pretty hard for any team to give up a good picture.
“Our scrum has been good and will continue to be good,) but, you know, I think they were smart around how they went about their work there.”
Saturday’s match will kick off at 3:35pm at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
