Nadroga and Suva will have another crack at the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge as the current holders, Namosi will be hosting Nadroga and Suva in the Skipper Cup Competition.

This was confirmed by the Fiji Rugby Union CEO John O’Connor who says that every time the holder of the Farebrother Trophy plays a home game of the Skipper Cup, they are defending the Farebrother Trophy.

He says Namosi has five home games left which mean they will need to win all the five games to keep the Farebrother Trophy.

Namosi will play at home against Lautoka next Saturday which will also be a Farebrother challenge match. If they win, they will take on Nadroga on September 19th, Yasawa on October 3rd, Nadi on October 17th and Suva on October 24th.

Meanwhile, Nadroga Team Manager, Semi Cabenalotu says they cannot wait to take on Namosi again in the doubleheader should Namosi continue to successfully defend the trophy.

Cabenalotu says they will need to improve on their discipline and individual player performances when they take on Namosi.

Nadroga will take on Naitasiri at 3.30pm this Saturday at Lawaqa Park. In other matches on Saturday, Yasawa will face Namosi at 3pm at Nadovu Park while Tailevu will play Suva at 3pm at Ratu Cakobau Park.

In tomorrow’s match, Nadi will face Lautoka at 3.30pm at Prince Charles Park.
