Colonial Farebrother Sullivan trophy holders Nadi will need to lift their game after they defeated Namosi 34-23 in their first defense of the title yesterday.

Coach Iliesa Tanivula was disappointed with the results as his side once again had to play catch-up rugby in the first half after Namosi led 8-nil with just 10 minutes of play already gone.

Tanivula said they cannot afford to commit mistakes against teams like Naitasiri, Tailevu, Suva and Nadroga.
