Defending BSP Farebrother Sullivan Trophy champions Nadroga have identified a few weaknesses against Naistasiri last week which cost them a trophy and also a loss in the finals.

In training runs throughout this week, coach Esala Na-uga stressed to the boys that they have to focus on playing the full 80 minutes of rugby and also when they are in the lead, they have to stick to the game plan and carry out what is required of them.

Nauga also told the boys that Ovalau will not be easy as they are coming with a lot of unknown players which will make it hard for the coaching staff to map out a counter attack against them.

Nadroga will miss the services of most of their regular players from the side who are away with the Western Police side in the likes of Setefano Somoca, Jerry Naureure, Etonia Naba, Iliesa Ratuva and Jonetani Ralulu.

The coach has made changes to his line up and has only retained the seasoned players like Tiko Matawalu, Aca ratuva and Nemani Nagusa in the forwards with Joeli Lutumailagi and Maikeli Mocetadra in the backline.

Todays game kicks off at 3.30pm at Lawaqa Park and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
