Four key members of the Flying Fijians will boost the Lautoka 15s rugby team in trying to wrestle the BSP Farebrother Sullivan Trophy from Nadroga this Saturday.

Lock Anthony Wise, halfback Kelemedi Bola, flyhalf Dan Rawaqa and fullback Jaoji Dakuvula will start for the Maroons.

Coach Seru Navuta’s last game against Nadroga was a painful experience where his side was thumped 45-18 by an experienced Stallions outfit.

Navuta knows it will not get any easier this Saturday after Nadroga welcomed back the services of their national reps that played in the Police competition last week.

Lautoka is best remembered amongst the rugby fraternity as the side that ended Nadroga’s 9 year reign as Farebrother holders in 1979, a result which Navuta will hope they can repeat on Saturday.

This Saturday Nadroga will be defending the BSP Farebrother Sullivan Trophy for the fifth time against Lautoka at 3.30pm and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
