Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Coach, Glen Jackson is disappointed after their 52-15 loss to the Force in Perth last night, as he stated that it seemed like the boys were on holiday for 8 days.

Jackson says it is just disappointing that the effort that they put in is not up to where they wanted to be as a club and as a team.

He says that is obviously something they will look at through the bye week before taking on the Crusaders at 3.35pm next Saturday at the HFC Stadium in Suva.

The Force showed their dominance in the first half last night, scoring five tries to one.

Hooker Nic Dolly scored a hattrick, with his first try coming in the first minute of the match.

The Force crossed over again in the seventh minute to lead 12-0.

Dolly scored his second try through a maul to put them in a 15-0 lead, and Harry Potter showed his speed by swerving through the Drua’s defence and scoring the Force’s fourth try in the first half.

The Drua committed a lot of mistakes and handling errors, which the Force capitalised on.

Dolly scored his third in the 35th minute to put the Force in a 33-0 lead.

Drua’s first try came in the 40 minute from Ilaisa Droasese.

The Drua started strong in the second half with a try to Taniela Rokuro, but the Force responded with a try from Carlos Tizzano to lead 40-10.

Etonia Waqa got one back for the Drua in the 56th minute, however, the Force continued their dominance as they scored another two tries from Potter and Donaldson.

The Drua could not capitalise on their game plan, and silly mistakes cost them the match.
