The first BSP Farebrother Cup challenge this Saturday is an important occasion for the Nadroga 15's rugby team to win back the confidence of their fans.
After last Saturday's loss to Naitasiri, the Stallions are under pressure to deliver a win in front of their home crowd against the unpredictable Ovalau side.
Captain Tiko Matawalu knows a strong crowd support will aid the Nadroga side, but they’ll need to improve their performance dramatically from their recent form where they allowed Naitasiri to come from behind and beat them in the Digicel cup final.
Matawalu said they owe their fans a win in the opening Farebrother Sullivan trophy challenge.
Nadroga host Ovalau in the first BSP Farebrother challenge on Saturday at 3pm and you can catch a live commentary of the match on our sister station Viti FM.
