Colonial Farebrother Sullivan trophy holders Nadi will have an upper hand against Northland in the 3rd challenge this afternoon.

The Nadi rugby side will go in as favourites in their third defence of the Farebrother Sullivan Cup this afternoon.

The jet-setters have already won last two of the challenge against Namosi and Tailevu.

Both the team's coaches have predicted a good game and they are not underestimating each other.

The Iliesa Tanivula coached side have the depth in experience in all departments of the game against their opponents who will be coming in with alot of fireworks, as they have done in their past games.

Tanivula said he is not concerned about what Northland will bring to the game, as he has set his focus for his players to do the basics from the opening whistle.

He adds like the past two challenges his side will rise to the occasion and deliver the results for Nadi fans this afternoon.
