We’ll regroup and go again: Legge

The Fijian Drua women’s side have put their 29-42 loss against Waratahs behind them.

They now shift their focus to Saturday’s match against Western Force at Churchill Park, Lautoka.

Interim head coach Mike Legge said while he was disappointed with their opening match performance they understood Tahs was a champion side.

“We got owned at the collision and in and around the field,” Legge said.

“We definitely started late. Took us 34 minutes to even get into the game.

“It’s a big lesson for us, but we’ll go home, regroup, review and then get ready for the Force.

“I’m not too sure what the reason is, but we’ve got to fix it because it’s a short competition.

“We’ve got to make sure that we nail everything from the get-go, that probably cost us the game, especially that first 20-minute period.

“We’ll have to go back to the drawing board and look at how we fix it.”

Legge was impressed with the debutants including Michella’e Stolz, Ruth Raketekete and Keri Lawavou.

“I thought the debutantes went well, all 10 players, they all got an opportunity.

“We’ve all got to take this loss on the chin and again, just get home and then start preparing for the Force.”

Saturday’s Super W round 2 match will kick off at 4:05pm.
