The Ra rugby team heads into this week’s Inkk Farebrother Trophy Challenge with grassroots players from the province who have been training together for about three months.
Head coach and former Flying Fijians and Fiji 7s player Sireli Bobo says getting the basics right will be crucial this week.
Bobo says his players stuck to the basics during their match against Naitasiri, which proved to be the difference when the final whistle blew.
He acknowledges that defending the trophy against a strong Nadroga side will not be easy.
However, he says his players need to build on their previous performance, maintain consistency, trust in the Lord and remain focused on the challenge ahead.
Bobo also thanked the supporters and the Vanua for their continued support, saying the team is looking forward to its next challenge against Skipper Cup champions Nadroga.
Ra will host Nadroga in the second Farebrother Trophy Challenge at Narauyaba in Rakiraki at 3pm.
