Force ahead 10 nil. Dominating territory & possession

Some of the other Aussies sides have played dumb against the Drua. I doubt the Force will get sucked into a loose game

Duluth

Much better last few minutes for the Drua

Bones

What a fucken jobsworth tmo. And why did Berry only pull out the card when the try was disallowed? That's stupid.

Crucial

Can someone please sort out what this team’s name is. So far we have had
Fijian Drua
Fiji N’Drua
Fiji Drua
The Drua
The N’Drua
Fiji

Last minute penalty snatches win for Force.

Not sure what last one was for? May have been high contact.

Regardless, Force were very patient in the last few minutes as the slowly worked into position. Huge number of phases.

@booboo Drua had the winning of that, but that one offload too many 5m out, hot on attack, scuppered them.

@crucial Well it's Fijian Drua, but Drua is pronounced 'inDrua'.

Everything else is just nicknames. No different to Western Force v Force or Reds v Queensland Reds v Queensland.

Yeah, I understand that Drua can be pronounced NDrua but it can also be pronounced Drua.
When the team name is Fijian Drua it’s funny that the only one you don’t hear is Fijian NDrua.
Just be consistent. It smacks of trying too hard to pay lip service to being “correct” when so many variations are trotted out.

@bones I’ve told you and your pony to get of my fucking lawn before. Now piss off before I throw my incontinence pad at you!

Bones
