THE Fiji Airways Fijian Drua side faces a tough task in the semi-finals of the National Rugby Championship this Sunday.

The Senirusi Seruvakula-coached side plays Canberra Vikings in the semis.

The two teams met during the round-robin competition of this year’s tournament when the Drua were thumped 41-28 in Canberra, Australia.

Missing tackles proved to be vital in the match as the Fijians missed 51 tackles compared to the Australian’s 22.

The match kicks off at 5pm.

The Fijian Drua side is the defending champion of the competition.
