The Fijian Drua are looking to fix one of their biggest weaknesses, closing out games, after suffering three consecutive losses in the final moments of their Super Rugby Pacific matches.

Despite strong performances against the Brumbies, Hurricanes, and Waratahs, the team has struggled to maintain their lead until the final whistle.

Centre Inia Tabuavou acknowledged the issue, emphasizing the need to stay sharp for the full 80 minutes.
