The Nadroga 15's rugby team will have to dig deep to defend the BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy against Suva next Saturday.

The Stallions held off a strong Northland side with a 12 all draw yesterday at Lawaqa Park in a game that could have gone either way.

Nadroga had to rely on the newly introduced Television Match Official to allow the first try to Setefano Somoca before number 8 Etonia Naba crossed the try line for their second try.

Nadroga led 12-6 at half time but Northland came back with two penalties for a 12 all draw and were unlucky when fullback Josefa Bola missed a penalty which could have won them the game.

Nadroga will host Suva next Saturday at Lawaqa Park.
