The Tailevu rugby side will be playing without their inspirational openside flanker Manueli Laqai in tomorrow’s Farebrother Sullivan trophy challenge match against Naitasiri.

Laqai will captain Fiji in the Gold Coast 7s this weekend.

Meanwhile, Tailevu last won the Farebrother in 2008 after beating Nadroga 17-14 at Ratu Cakobau Park in which Rupeni Caucau scored a try for the green machine.

The last time Tailevu met Naitasiri in a Farebrother match was in 2007 where the Highlanders lost 6-10 and Mosese Luveitasau is the only player from that clash who is still in the current Naitasiri team.

Tailevu will play Naitasiri at 7pm tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station VITI FM.
