The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua remains one of Super Rugby Pacific’s great unknown quantities heading into the quarter-finals of the Super Rugby Pacific season.

The Fijian Drua defeated Queensland Reds 28-19 at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.

Drua Skipper, Tevita Ikanivere scored two tries in the contest to book themselves a spot in the Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinals.

The Reds fought hard to try and deny the Drua the win but the Mick Byrne-coached side maintained their defence and Isaiah Armstrong Ravula kicked a penalty for the last 3 points in the last minutes of the game.

Flyhalf Isaiah Armstrong-Ravula continues to grow in confidence while improvements at set piece are putting the Drua in strong stead to challenge a top-four side come quarter-finals.

Discipline was a concern for the Reds as their winger, Fijian-born Suliasi Vunivalu.

Vunivalu saw yellow inside the opening ten minutes for an intentional trip, gifting the Drua a penalty try in the process.

Vunivalu then threw a leg out again in the lead-up to Ikanivere’s try; the result – was another yellow card for intentionally tripping – and ultimately a red card that cost Queensland the game.

The Fijian Drua face the Highlanders and Rebels in the coming weeks with all three jockeying for positions between fifth and eighth – expect plenty of fireworks.
