Drua secure spot in playoffs with win over RedsAP, WELLINGTONThe Fijian Drua yesterday made history by beating the Queensland Reds 34-17 in Suva to qualify for the quarter-finals of Super Rugby Pacific for the first time. “Obviously it was a real tough second half,” Reds captain Tate McDermott said. The Reds responded immediately with a try to Ryan Smith, but the Drua went ahead again with a try to Kelaveti Ravouvou. The second half belonged to the Drua, who added tries to Misake Doge and Tevita Ikanivere as the Reds lost discipline and McReight went to the sin bin. The Drua win moved them up to seventh, but a Western Force win over the Waikato Chiefs — the game was to finish after press time last night — would have put the Fijian side eighth.
