The Vikings have done a lot of dumb things over the last 15 minutes............

They should've taken the points when they had the penalty in front.

Christ who'd want to mix it up with Tuisue? What D!

Viking need some cautious territory kicking here but not too much. 8 min to go they also need possession.

Instead they find themselves defending their line.

PENALTY TRY to Drua in the scrum after two that weren't awarded to Vikings earlier?

Drua have this.

Nice consolation try to Vikings in overtime including an amusing hit up by Enever that looked like punching through but the Fijians had hold of D like a sandstone wall.

I don't think that ref did well, but congrats to the Drua. Our first finalist.

Canberra fans must be liking the depth they seem to be building.

That was a match where the good big men beat the good little men again. Not that the Vikings are small in the pack, but they played like small men today, but in the backline the Drua simply smashed our little men. JJH in particular went backwards more than forwards.

Once the Drua scrum started to go forward, their passes also started to stick and they just made ground almost at will. I can't see them being beaten next week. They have been clearly the best team in the competition this year.

BTW, was there not a knock on in the Drua's third try as the scorer slid towards the try line?

EDIT : Hawera was sorely missed, as I thought he might be as soon as he went off. 5 tries to the Vikings to 4 for the Drua, but not one conversion. That was the difference on the scoreboard today. And have to say that Lolesio has a lot of development to do (he is only 18 after all) before he is ready for this level. His skills, game management and goal kicking were all sub-par.

Marginal though I'd be inclined to say yes more than no. However, I have seen worse given so.........
