The Nadi Rugby team will not hand over the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy so easily to Tailevu as they want it remain in the Western Division for Christmas and New Year.

After edging the former holders Namosi 21-20 last Saturday, the Jetsetters have one more challenge before they can celebrate.

Nadi Captain and Flying Fijians Prop Ratu Veremalua Vugakoto says Tailevu is a strong and consistent team so they are expecting a tough clash.

Nadi will take on Tailevu in the Skipper Cup and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge, Suva will face Namosi, Naitasiri will meet Yasawa and Nadroga will play Lautoka.
