The lack of facilities for the Nasinu Secondary School Under 16 side is not diverting their focus on what they will do on the field when they take on Queen Victoria School in the national quarter-final of the Fiji Secondary Schools Rugby Vodafone Deans this Saturday.

Head Coach, Semesa Matai says the boys are using pieces of metal bars for the gym since they do not have a proper gym in their school and whatever resources they have for training.

Matai says the boys are passionate about playing rugby and it can be seen in their performance throughout the season.

The head coach says the school has only one playground where six teams who have qualified for the national quarter-finals are having their training.

He also acknowledged the support from the old scholars who provided some training equipment for the school. Nasinu Secondary will meet QVS at 11.30 Saturday at the Buckhurst 2 ground.

In other matches, Suva Grammar will play Ba Provincial Free-bird Institute at 10.20am, Ratu Kadavulevu School will face Ba Methodist High School at 10.30am, and Marist Brothers High School will meet Lelean Memorial School.
