Drua is cautious with rebels
Both sides enter the game having each won three of their previous six games this season. With 14 points, the Rebels are ranked sixth in the standings, while the Drua are ranked seventh with 13 points.
Coach Mick Byrne stated that his team anticipated engaging in combat with the Rebels.
Byrne declared, “We have to match that energy that they have been able to muster around the situations they have had around the field.” “I believe we should be prepared for that. We are aware of what to expect. We anticipate a physical struggle, and I believe that’s what Friday brings,” he continued.
Byrne claimed that in light of the off-field circumstances the Rebels have had this season, they have shown bravery.
Given what has been happening off the field, which has been a driving force and inspiration, I believe they have shown incredible bravery this year. I believe that the players are performing well because they have truly embraced their coaching staff. We are aware that Friday night will be an exciting struggle.
