It was the Drua's eighth win in nine games this season, including a perfect six from six on home soil, while it was the first time the Fijian side have beaten Queensland Country in four attempts.

Coach Senirusi Seruvakula told Vinnie Wylie he was always confident his players could deliver in their biggest ever match.
