Job done. That'll be the feeling for the Blues on the way home from what appeared to be a challenging trip to Suva, that turned out to be anything but.
The 34-5 win over the Fijian Drua was one that was looking likely after Marcel Renata crashed over after just six minutes, after that the defending champions simply scored with regularity and enjoyed the lion's share of possession.
This very much looked like the Blues' much vaunted game plan from last season, which relied on hogging the ball and making the opposition play at their pace. All of the Blues' tries came from rucks less than five metres out and it was no surprise that fellow props Angus Ta'avao and Josh Fusitu'a crossed the line too.
Halfback Taufa Funaki made the most of his start by scoring a try as well, with winger Cole Forbes dotting down in one of the easiest finishes of his career to complete the rout. The Drua could only manage a try to Selestino Ravutaumada in the last few minutes to avoid getting blanked, but it didn't do much to make up for what was a lacklustre performance by the home side.
So that means the Blues are now halfway through their four match must-win series to finish the regular season. They head home for an away game in their own hometown next weekend against Moana Pasifika, who will be coming off a bye.
However, the Drua are now just trying to avoid coming last. The one thing in their favour is that their remaining games are at home, with the Force making the trip up to Fiji next weekend.
