Try-less Fijian Drua learn the hard way

Queensland Reds captain Harry Wilson said, keeping the Fijian Drua try-less in their 21-6 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific win in Lautoka is ‘really special’.
The tough No.8 said the players stood for each other as they really wanted a win to celebrate full-back Jock Campbell’s 100th Super Rugby match for the Reds.
The visitors played together as a unit and their tough defensive line was what frustrated the Drua, as they continued to make basic mistakes throughout the game.
The hosts took the lead in the 11th minute from Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula kicked over a penalty after Reds lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto was penalised for being offside.
The Reds defence led by winger Filipo Daugunu connected with their one-on-one tackles.

A fumble by Ravula in the 24th minute saw Daugunu set-up a move that resulted in halfback Kalani Thomas scoring their first under the post.

Harry McLaughlin-Philips added the extras for a 7-3 lead.
In the 28th minute Salakaia-Loto was again penalised for offside and Ravula again kicked it over to narrow the gap 7-6.
In the second half it was all Reds with converted tries to McLaughlin-Philips and Richie Asiata.
A disappointed Drua captain Frank Lomani said what let them down was their failure to finish off their moves. He was referring to the fumble made by  full-back Ilaisa Droasese with the try-line in front of him.
