This week's Digicel Cup game against Nadroga and Navosa is like the battle between David and Goliath!
This is the view of Navosa rugby team official, Ropate Labalaba.
Labalaba said that his boys have a lot of respect for their "big brothers" from the Nadroga squad, and they are thankful that the opportunity has come so early in the season to help the boys develop their skills.
However, Labalaba said that it will be tough for both sides, since both teams lost the first round last Saturday, but Nadroga still looked the better side of the two, as they were edged by Naitasiri 15-12, while Navosa lost to Northland by 24-12.
The Navosa/Nadroga match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka and you can catch a live-commentary of the match on our sister station Viti FM.
