Former national 7's and 15's rep Viliame Satala will strengthen Lautoka's chances of trying to end Naitasiri's unbeaten run at Ratu Cakobau park this afternoon.

The veteran player has been in form for the sugar city boys in his past game and was instrumental in handing Suva their first loss last week.

Satala will guide the young Maroon back line which will test the Naitasiri defence throughout today.

Also making his return to the Lautoka team is former Flying Fijian rep and France based Ropate Ratu.

Ratu is on the reserve bench for Lautoka and will be used in the second half as an impact player.

The Naitasiri and Lautoka game will kick-off this afternoon at 3pm and you can catch a live commentary of the match on our sister station Viti FM.
