There will be a lot of pressure on the Nadroga team to successfully defend the BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy this season.
With a total of 7 teams to challenge for the trophy on a weekly basis, the Stallions current form is under the microscope after last weekend's loss to Naitasiri in the Digicel Cup final.
IRB Trainer for coaches in the Oceania region, Frank Boivert believes the Stallions cannot rely on the number of national reps they have in the team to keep the Farebrother again this season.
This Saturday the Ovalau team will be the first side that will try to wrestle the Farebrother away from Nadroga.
Ovalau will arrive in Sigatoka tomorrow ahead of Saturday's game with a team which is made up of unknown players who earlier this season lost by 59-13 at Lawaqa park.
The Nadroga and Ovalau BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy kicks-off on Saturday at 3pm and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
