Tailevu 15's rugby coach Inoke Male knows that the battle between players from a same province will always be a closely contested one as most of the players are related and know each other well.

After wrapping up their preparation yesterday, Male said the Northland side which consist of players from the North of Tailevu, will provide one of the toughest games of the season for his side.

Tailevu lost to Northland in the Digicel Fiji Cup competition but the former Fiji number 8 will not want a repeat of that result this Saturday.

While there is still no confirmation on whether 7s training squad member Rupeni Caucau and Eneri Kuru will be part of the team tomorrow.

Male is confident the replacements will still be able to deliver.

The Tailevu and Northland game will kick-off at 3pm tomorrow at Ratu Cakobau Park and you can catch a live commentary on Viti FM.
