The Fijian Drua triumphed over the Hurricanes with a final score of 25-20 in a closely contested Super Rugby match. The game started with a penalty from Armstrong-Ravula, but the Hurricanes quickly responded with tries from Fineanganofo and Lakai. The Drua rallied with a try from Murray, followed by a successful conversion, before the Hurricanes added another try through Proctor. Armstrong-Ravula's kicking proved crucial as he added penalties and conversions throughout the match. The Drua's Waqa scored a vital try in the second half, extending their lead.
