Battle of the coaches
Tavua is closely monitored by former national rep, Manasa Bari and Naitasiri is coached by Reverend Joji Rinakama.
Reverend Rinakama will be taking a very young and talented Naitasiri team and have been warned to heed to the vocal home crowd support.
The highlanders have also been warned not to let indiscipline over-rule them, a major weakness that other teams have taken advantage of in past games.
The Naitasiri/Tavua match kicks off at 3pm at Garvey Park in Tavua.
Meanwhile, a live-commentary of the match between Lautoka and Suva, that will be held at 3pm on Saturday at Churchill Park in Lautoka, can be heard on our sister station Viti FM.
In other Digicel Cup matches on Saturday, Nadi meet Ovalau, Rewa host Nadroga, Northland host Tailevu at Gatward Park in Korovou, and Navosa host Namosi at Vatureba Park. All games kick off at 3pm.
