Defending Digicel Cup Champions Nadroga lost their first game by default to Naitasiri this afternoon.
The win was awarded to Naitasiri after Nadroga failed to turn up at the Navuso District School ground as they were waiting at Navuso Agriculture School ground.
The Fiji Rugby Union had earlier announced that the Nadroga and Naitasiri match was to be held at the Navuso District School ground but at midday yesterday they changed the venue to Navuso Agriculture School ground.
Another change was made in the venue last night by FRU where they decided to hold the match at Navuso District School ground.
Fijivillage spoke to Nadroga spokesperson Tiko Matawalu who said that they were not informed with the last minute change in the venue.
We are still trying to get FRU on why there was a last minute change in the venue last night.
Meanwhile, looking at other games played this afternoon, Nadi beat Tailevu 18-13, Northland won over Vatukoula 26-17, Suva beat Tavua 29-10, Lautoka lost 16-26 to Namosi.
