Swire Shipping Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne believes they are in for a tough battle tonight when they take on the Brumbies in Canberra in Round 11 of Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific.

With the Brumbies confidence at its highest after ending the Hurricanes' winning streak this season last week, Byrne says having home advantage will be good for the Brumbies, and they will need to be ready for the physicality.

He says the Brumbies are good around the rucks, and they will need to protect the ball.

Tonight will be special for the Valetini brothers as it will be the first time they will meet on the field in the Super Rugby competition.

Rob Valetini will be starting at number 8 for the Brumbies, and his elder brother, Kemy Valetini, has been named on the bench for the Drua.

The Drua will meet the Brumbies at 9.35 tonight.

The Highlanders beat Moana Pasifika 28-17 earlier this afternoon in Tonga while the Crusaders are leading the Reds.

In another match tonight, the Chiefs will take on the Force at 7.05.
