The Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua women have defeated the Brumbies 21-15 in Round 3 of the Super W competition.

Both the Drua and Brumbies started the game with errors due to the slippery ball from the wet conditions.

Vika Matarugu, the captain of the Drua side scored the first try in the 44th minute giving her team the lead at 7-5.

Brumbies flanker Siokopesi Palu scored a second try, helping the visitors lead 12-5.

Indiscipline led to the Drua receiving their first yellow card to Loraini Senivutu for a late tackle.

A second yellow card was given to Nunia Daunimoala for a late shoulder charge.

Drua winger Vitalina Naikore displayed her speed, scoring a try to narrow the gap to 14-15.

The Brumbies failed to capitalize on their possession and did not score any more points, while the Drua sealed the victory in the 80th minute with a try from Salanieta Nabuli.

The Drua womens will play Western Force next Sunday at 8:50pm.
