Colonial Farebrother Sullivan trophy holders Naitasiri's past records against Suva has given them an early favourite tag in this afternoon's challenge at Ratu Cakobau park.

The two teams have met on 3 occasions in the Farebrother challenge, with Naitasiri winning twice while Suva only manage a win way back in 1998.

But the capital city side win in 1998, has been regarded as one of their best as they lifted the presitigious trophy from Naluwai, in an achievement no other team has been able to do.

This afternoon Naitasiri will have an edge against the challengers with the support from the fans and a heavy forward pack, compared to that which outplayed Nadi last week.

National 15's rugby selectors Mosese Taga said this afternoon's game has alot at stake for both teams as they have prepared well in the past few days.
