The Naitasiri fifteens rugby team will need to recover quickly from last week's game against Suva to defend the Colonial Farebrother Sullivan trophy against Lautoka.

Coach Reverend Joji Rinakama said it was evident in the first 40 minutes against Suva, that his players took a lot of time to try and settle and they cannot continue that performance this Saturday.

Rinakama believes Lautoka will come in hungry to take the Farebrother to the west and while he is happy with his side's performance, they will need to improve.
