The odds were in favour of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua when it won 36-33 over the Queensland Reds in Round 12 of the Super Rugby Pacific competition in Suva yesterday.

It was Isikeli Rabitu who pushed through the tough Reds defence at the match’s dying moments to win as points stood at 29-33 before that.

This is the Drua’s first win at the HFC Bank Stadium this season and third in the season so far.

Head coach Glen Jackson acknowledged his players for the work carried out, stating he was “stoked” at the result.

Meanwhile, they face the Blues this Friday in round 13 of the competition at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
