"When we take to the field this afternoon we will have to put our friendships aside."

Army Captain and former national 7's rep, Dale Tonawai said the two forces have been going head to head for the past 50 years to claim the ultimate prize in Rugby history, however when duty calls they will step up to it.

With only five hours remaining, both the Army and Police have put all on the line with a very strong lineup. Army boys will be led by Tonawai while Nadroga and 7's rep Savenaca Aria will lead the Police to defend the Tanoa.

Meanwhile, Police Team manager ACP Isikeli Vuniwaqa is confident that his players will successfully defend the Sukuna Tanoa and take it home for the fourth year in a row.

The Sukuna Tanoa challenge between the Police and Army kicks off at 4pm at the National Sports Stadium and a live commentary can be heard on our sister station Viti FM.
