Fijian Drua Head Coach Mick Byrne

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Head Coach Mick Byrne says their loss to the Force is a bitter one to swallow as he thought they did enough to get them the victory.

The Drua lost to the Force 20-18.

While speaking during the post-match press conference, Bryne says they are proud of the fact that it was their 5th game and they met the Force with some physicality.


He says they just threw the ball away a bit too easy at the end of the game which gave the Force possession when they were behind.

The Drua will take on the Rebels in round 6 of the Super Rugby Pacific at 8.45pm Friday.
