Off the top of my head, the Drua's already beaten the Hurricanes and Crusaders this season.
Nobody's going to want to meet these guys in the playoffs.
Final: Drua 41 Reds 17.

65m interception try and that'll do it.
Drua again making hay with the Reds' errors.
Drua 41-17 with 4 to play.

It's been a weird game in that momentum (until the last 10 minutes) has been all over the place, the ball's like a bar of soap and I think the Drua have got to really stuff up now to lose this.

Reds overthrew their jumpers on their own 5m line and the Drua go over.
Drua 34-17. 20 to play.

Reds down to 14 for 10 minutes after repeated infringements at the breakdown.
Drua taking scrums / taps / lineouts on their penalties instead of shots in front of the Reds' posts.
And after 5 minutes of banging their heads against the wall it pays off.
Drua 27-17 with 28 to play.

High tackle inside their 22 by the Reds and the Drua slot the penalty.
Drua by 3.

What a star man.
Fabulous #10 for the #Chiefs, #BayOfPlenty and #Saracens.
I remember him beating Auckland on his own in c. 2002 for the Steamers.
Marvellous international referee.
Now a coach of a Super Rugby team.

All square at the half
- under very wet conditions
- a playing surface which might end up resembling a ploughed field
- with a Reds team that is relying heavily on the rolling maul
- and a Drua side that's chucking the ball around but using its muscle when it has to
The 2nd half should be very interesting...
