The Lautoka rugby team is confident that it will be coming in for a surprise in the challenge match against the champion side Tailevu tomorrow.
Speaking to Village Sports, Lautoka team manager Josefa Uluivuda said that Lautoka has been preparing really well for this week's game and though they are coming in as underdogs, they are ready to wrestle the Farebrother away to the west.
Uluivuda adds that they will still maintain the core of the Lautoka team that participated in last year's competition and believe that training for the past few months will augur well for the boys.
The Lautoka/Tailevu Farebrother match kicks off at 3pm tomorrow at the Vodafone Ratu Cakobau Park and you can catch a live-commentary of the match on our sister-radio station Viti FM.
