Nadi Rugby will be travelling down to Ratu Cakobau Park this weekend to face Naitasiri in the Skipper Cup competition with a mindset to win.

Nadi Rugby Union Secretariat Jeff Tamata says their main aim this season is to finish at the top four so they can continue to participate in next year's Skipper Cup.

Tamata says Naitasiri is a great team and they showed their class last week defeating Lautoka 29-11 and they are currently leading in the points table.

He says Naitasiri is one of the rugby giants in the country and they have the support of their province who always add entertainment to the sport.

He adds the Highlanders side will also be aiming to avenge their loss in last year's Farebrother challenge and Nadi is ready to put everything on the line for a win this week.

Nadi will take on Naitasiri at 3pm at Ratu Cakobau Park.

The Skipper and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge between Namosi and Nadroga will be held at 3.30pm at Lawaqa Park.

In other matches, Lautoka will take on Tailevu at 3pm at Churchill Park while Suva will face Yasawa at 3pm at the ANZ Stadium.
