Queensland Reds coach Les Kiss hopes they continue the momentum after its first time win in four matches against the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua in Fiji, in their Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash on the weekend in Lautoka.

Kiss was left thrilled with the grit shown in a three-try display and is calling for more of the same “unbelievable” defence that kept the Drua try-less and propelled the Australian team to a fourth straight Shop N Save Super Rugby win.

The Drua failed to score a try on home soil for the first time since entering the competition in 2022 as the Reds powered to a 21-6 victory.

Kiss says the huge respect they had for the Drua was represented by the way that they approached theirr defence.
