A gutsy effort by the Fijian Drua fell short of ensuring victory as the side lost 20-28 to the Brumbies in Super Rugby Pacific.

Despite being down 14-0 early, the Drua put on a brilliant effort to push the top Australian franchise.

While the scrums and defence were good for the Drua, it was not enough to break the winless record in its away games this season.
