The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua was outclassed eight tries to one by the Queensland Reds in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific match last night.

The Reds demolished the Drua 52-7.

The Drua started strong as they put pressure on the hosts, however, after 10 minutes into the first half, the Reds took control of the game.

The Reds scored five unanswered tries in the first half to lead 33-0 at the break.

24-year-old Reds wing Lachie Anderson scored four tries, while Josh Canham scored once.

Discipline was an issue for the Drua as centre Iosefo Masi and Etonia Waqa were shown yellow cards for dangerous tackles, leaving the Drua exposed.

The Drua's first try came from Haereiti Hetet in the 43rd minute.

The Reds continued to punish the Drua, scoring another three tries from centre Josh Flook, Filipo Daugunu and Joe Brial.

The win has sealed the Reds spot in the qualifying final, where they will meet the Crusaders next week.

The Drua end the season in 10th place with 20 points.

In other results, the Blues thrashed the Waratahs 46-6, and the Hurricanes demolished Moana Pasifika 64-12.
