The Western Force's finals hopes are officially over despite posting a gutsy 19-15 Super Rugby Pacific win over Fijian Drua in Perth.
The Force entered Saturday night's match knowing only a bonus-point win would be enough to keep their faint finals chances alive, while the Drua's hopes were already extinguished following Queensland's last-gasp win over Moana Pasifika earlier in the day.
Zac Lomax's 69th-minute try from what looked to be an obvious forward pass put the Force ahead, but the home side needed another two tries to snare the winning bonus point.
