The Northland 15's rugby team arrived in Sigatoka yesterday with high hopes of lifting the BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy this afternoon.

Coach Watisoni Ratulevu decided that the team left for Nadroga yesterday to give his players enough time to rest and focus at the task ahead of them.

Ratulevu who will miss the services of captain Uraia Vecenadavui is confident his captain Andrew Durutalo and national 7's rep Aisake Katonibau will not let the fans down who have travel in numbers for this afternoon's game.

Earlier on in the week the Northland coach believed they had prepared well to record their first win in the Stallions home ground something they have failed to do in their past visit.

Northland last held the Farebrother in 2008 when they defeated Tailevu but only kept it for a week before Naitasiri took it from them.

The Nadroga/Northland game kicks-off at 4pm and live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
