The Fijian Drua showcased a dominant performance, defeating the Western Force 38-7 at Churchill Park. Despite an early try from Tomkinson for the Force, the Drua quickly regained control with a series of tries, including two from Canakaivata. Armstrong-Ravula's kicking was crucial, converting three tries and adding a penalty. The Force struggled with discipline, receiving a yellow card for Robertson in the first half, which hampered their efforts. In the second half, the Drua continued their onslaught, scoring three more tries, capped off by Ravutaumada's effort. Muntz and Caleb Muntz impressed off the bench, contributing significantly to the scoreline. This victory marked a strong comeback for the Drua after their previous loss to the Force earlier in the season.
