Drua's hopes of making playoffs fading after 48-10 defeat to Force

The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua's hopes of making the playoffs are fading after the Western Force got their revenge beating them 48-10 in the Culture Round of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific in Perth.

Selestino Ravutaumada scored the Drua's only try in the second half while the Force scored 5 tries through Chase Tiatia, Carl Tizzano, Michael Welsh, Lopeti Faifua, Bayley Kuenzle, and Ben Donaldson.

Poor decision making cost the Drua after they scored no points while Nic White was in the sin bin.

The Force led 17-3 at half-time.

Although the Drua were able to piece together phases it was quickly snubbed out by the Force defence.

The Force were cutting through the Drua defence with ease.

The Drua host the Reds at the HFC Bank Stadium next Saturday at 2.05pm.

In other games, the Blues pipped the Hurricanes 31-27, the Brumbies beat the Waratahs 29-21.
