Past results favour defending Colonial Farebrother Sullivan trophy champions Nadi to retain the title against Tailevu on Saturday.

Tailevu in all of their past challenges at Prince Charles Park have failed to lift the prestigious prize of rugby in the country.

Only twice they have won the Farebrother Sullivan trophy in 2003 against Lautoka and in 2007 when they defeated Nadroga before losing the cup to Northland last year.

Nadi Coach Iliesa Tanivula is hoping that like any other past jetsetters coach he will want to keep a clean record against Tailevu at home.
