The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua experienced a challenging defeat against the ACT Brumbies, losing 38-21 in their recent match, highlighting ongoing issues with discipline that have been a recurring theme in their season. Despite starting strong, the Drua struggled with a series of penalties and errors, allowing the Brumbies to take control of the game early on, leading 28-7 at halftime.
Head coach Glen Jackson expressed disappointment with his team’s inability to execute their game plan, particularly their focus on discipline, which had been emphasized during the week leading up to the match. “Unfortunately, we talked long and hard about our discipline, but the boys just didn’t quite get it right in that first half,” Jackson admitted.
The game faced several interruptions due to head injury assessments, which disrupted the rhythm for both teams. Jackson, who has experience as a referee, pointed out some contentious calls that hindered the Drua’s ability to sustain their momentum.
Looking ahead, the Drua are set to face the Western Force in Perth next weekend, a crucial opportunity for the team to regroup. Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua women’s team is scheduled to take on the Brumbies later today, adding to the weekend’s excitement for Drua supporters.
Despite the loss, there are reasons for optimism. The Drua’s performances this season have shown glimpses of resilience and potential, particularly from emerging talents. With continued focus on improving discipline and execution, there is hope for the Drua to turn their fortunes around as they advance in the Super Rugby Pacific season. 팬들의 지지는 이 팀이 앞으로 나아가는 데 큰 힘이 될 것입니다.
