The Western Force have kept their Super Rugby Pacific finals hopes alive after snapping their losing streak with a 48-28 win over Moana Pasifika last night.

The Force ran in seven tries to also collect a vital bonus point which came in the 78th minute when Kyle Godwin ran on to a break by star winger Manasa Mataele to touch down to the delight of his teammates.

The result means Western Force has moved into ninth position on the table which is three points behind the Highlanders.

They now need to beat the Hurricanes on Saturday night and rely on the Rebels to beat the Highlanders on Sunday to qualify for the quarterfinals next week.

Meanwhile, the Fijian Drua will meet the Chiefs at 3pm this Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka.
