Drua Stun Hurricanes with Comeback Win in Lautoka

The Fijian Drua produced a spirited second-half comeback to defeat the Hurricanes 25–20 at Churchill Park in Lautoka this afternoon in their Super Rugby Pacific clash.

The visitors started strongly and managed to take a 17–13 lead into halftime after capitalising on a few early opportunities.

However, the Drua came out firing in the second half, lifting their intensity in front of a vocal home crowd.

A key turning point came when centre Tuidraki Samusamuvodre intercepted a Hurricanes pass and raced away to score, shifting momentum firmly in favour of the home side.

Despite late pressure from the Hurricanes, the Drua defended strongly in the closing stages to hold on for the five-point victory.

The result marks an important boost for the Drua after a difficult start to the season and gives the Lautoka crowd plenty to celebrate as the team looks to build momentum in the weeks ahead.
