Tove, Naihamu Double in Drua Win Against Brumbies

The Fijian Drua Women delivered an impressive performance to defeat the ACT Brumbies 42-25 in a thrilling Super W encounter at 4R Govind Park in Ba. The match was an intense, high-scoring affair from the outset, with both teams matching each other's intensity throughout the first half.

The Brumbies, aiming to rebound from a previous loss, showed strong attacking intent, spearheaded by Wallaroos star Ash Bishop. Bishop was instrumental in the first half, scoring two early tries and completing her hat-trick just before halftime. This effort helped the Brumbies reach a 20-20 draw by the break, with the Drua keeping pace through tries from Josivini Naihamu, Sulita Waisega, and Merewairita Neivosa.

Following the restart, the Drua Women asserted their dominance. Salaseini Railumu put the hosts back on the scoreboard, and Karalaini Naisewa extended their lead to 30-20. Although the Brumbies managed another try to stay in contention, Repeka Tove's second try of the match proved pivotal, pushing the Drua's advantage to 35-25. Josivini Naihamu then sealed the convincing victory with her second try after the final hooter, securing the 42-25 win.

The victory highlights the Drua Women's resilience and attacking prowess as they continue their Super W campaign. They are set to face the Reds next Saturday in their final match before the playoffs, with the game scheduled for 4:05 PM and available for live viewing on FBC.
