Moana Pasifika secured a convincing 34-15 victory over Fijian Drua at North Harbour Stadium. The home side took control early with tries from Toala, Faiilagi, and Tupou Ta'eiloa, establishing a 19-0 lead by halftime. Faiilagi added another try shortly after the break, further extending the advantage. The Drua's Ikanivere responded with a try, but Moana's Julian Savea scored soon after to maintain the pressure. Despite a late try from Rakuro, the Fijian side struggled to contain Moana's powerful attack. Jackson Garden-Bachop's kicking game and strong performances from forwards like Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa were key to the home team's dominance. This match marked a significant turnaround for Moana Pasifika after losing to the Drua in their previous encounter.
