Nadroga 15's rugby coach Esala Nauga has named only 3 survivors from the side that lost the BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy to Tailevu in 2007 in his starting line-up for the 4th challenge at Lawaqa Park tomorrow.

With 7 of his regulars playing in the annual Fiji Police Force inter formation competition, Nauga has opted for some of his U-20 reps to start for the Stallions against Tailevu.

Tailevu past results against the Stallions give them confidence they can repeat the 2007 and 2008 results tomorrow where they beat Nadroga for the prestigious rugby prize.

Captain Tiko Matawalu, winger Maikeli Mocetadra and locks Rupeni Nasiga are the only survivors of the Nadroga team that lost 31-27 to Tailevu at Lawaqa Park in 2007, who have been again named in the starting lineup.

Nadroga will be without Setefano Somoca, Jerry Naureure,  Iliesa Ratuva, Etonia Naba, Mosese Volavola and Jonetani Ralulu for tomorrow's game but players like Aca Ratuva, Joeli Lutumailagi, Rupeni Nasiga and Emosi Vucago are the old hands in the team which Nauga believes they can defend the Farebrother for the 4th time.

The Nadroga and Tailevu BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy challenge kicks-off at 3.30pm tomorrow and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
