The Blues put on a clinical display in Suva, overpowering the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua 34-5 in Round 13 of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season.
Captain Mesake Doge says despite the loss at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva last night, he is proud with the boys for giving their all throughout the 90 minutes of play.
“The boys came out fighting but yeah, they got the better of us today.”
The visitors came out firing early, with prop Marcel Renata crashing over in just the sixth minute to set the tone.
Scrumhalf Taufa Funaki added another try in the 22nd minute, and a Beauden Barrett penalty stretched the lead to 15-0 by the 28th minute.
Blues forward Joshua Fusitu’a crossed in the 35th minute as the visitors took a commanding 22-0 lead into the break.
After halftime Angus Ta’avao added to the tally in the 47th minute.
Cole Forbes sealed the Blues’ dominance with a try in the 67th minute.
The Drua managed a late consolation try in the 76th minute through Selestino Ravutaumada, but it was too little, too late for the home side.
The Drua will now face the Western Force next Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka, and you can catch all the action Live on FBC Sports.
