The Nadroga 15s rugby team will be playing without many of their national reps in their second defense of the Farebrother Sullivan Cup on Saturday.
But the Stallions will still have a full strength team with the inclusion of 7s reps and some former national 15s rugby team reps.
Etonia Naba, Mosese Volavola, Emosi Vucago, Maikeli Nadridri, Paula Biu, Simeli Koniferedi and France based Jiuta Lutumailagi are expected to feature for Nadroga.
Coach Joji Rinakama is not treating Northland lightly as they have won two of their last 3 games in the Sanyo Cup and is expected to name a star-studded team against them.
The visitors have not beaten Nadroga since they came into the major ranks of rugby and will be hoping to cause the biggest upset in local rugby on Saturday.
The match will kick-off on Saturday at 3pm and in other games, Nadi hosts neighbours Lautoka, Tavua travels to Namosi, Navosa takes on Suva, Tailevu face Naitasiri and Vatukoula plays Ovalau.
