Rugby-Drua playoffs qualification a coaching highlight, says Byrne


(Reuters) - Fijian Drua coach Mick Byrne labelled his team's qualification for the Super Rugby Pacific playoffs as a "highlight" of his career as Saturday's 41-17 win over the Queensland Reds set up a quarter-final clash with champions the Canterbury Crusaders.

The pair meet in Christchurch on Saturday after the Drua sealed a seventh place finish, their best performance since joining Super Rugby last year, to leave Byrne praising the progress made by his players.
