Handling has gone to shit

Kirwan

It must be slippery out there, knock ons in mauls now.

27-14 now, Drua faded out

Duluth

Kalapu having a good game from the bench. Do we know if he’s back for the NPC?

Kirwan

29-14, assumed he’d miss the kick

That's where the maul rules are rubbish.

Drua push Force back 5 metres but because the attacking team get 2 'stops' they just rebound and score.

34-14 now, kick to come. Force rolling over the top now.

Duluth

Force jump over the Highlanders on the table. Highlanders are 11th and have a hard game this weekend (Brumbies in Canberra)

This game shows once again that the Drua's wins in the Fijian heat don't necessarily mean that they are a good team. Improved, yes, but definitely still a lot more improvement needed. To be a contender for the title, you must be able to win away from home.

Kirwan

Force fitness the main difference in the end. Drua made a lot of mistakes, some nice breaks then throw the ball away.

34-14

Has anyone been saying they were contenders? Deluded if so.

The travel clearly took a bit out of the team, with better fitness this is a good team. Had a really good scrum, all the skill in the world. Just very inaccurate.
