Byrne Expresses Heightened Disappointment as Drua Miss Out on Bonus Point in Loss to Brumbies
Byrne revealed that in the final moments of the match, the team had been pushing hard to secure a bonus point but fell short as the Brumbies managed to maintain their lead, ultimately clinching a 28-20 victory.
The coach described the game as frustrating, particularly as he observed from the sidelines the team’s struggle with unforced errors that gifted the Brumbies 14 easy points in the first half.
Despite the loss, Byrne highlighted one positive aspect: the team’s reduced penalty count, with only 11 penalties conceded. He attributed this unusual statistic to the team’s relentless efforts to improve their discipline.
Looking ahead, the Drua are set to face the Western Force in Perth this Saturday at 11:55 PM in the Culture Round of the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.
