3 teams fight for semifinal spot
Lautoka can cement their place at the top with victory tomorrow against neighbours, Nadi, but the jetsetters will be determined to make a comeback into the semifinal contention after last week’s loss to Suva.
Nadroga would be firm favorites in the match against Northland, but a loss to Northland would put them in danger of missing out altogether should there be wins to Naitasiri and Nadi.
Naitasiri, with the best attacking record in the competition with 38 tries, come up against a team who share the best defensive record in the competition Tailevu.
The Highlanders will only need to beat Tailevu to ensure a semifinal spot, regardless of other results.
Suva's win against Nadi was their only win against any side above them on the table, and while a semifinal spot is now well out of reach for the capital side, they have at least secured a spot to challenge for next year's Farebrother Sullivan trophy.
Navosa will have to beat Suva to claim eighth position and the right to challenge for the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy next season.
