Nadroga Rugby Union President Tiko Matawalu says that his players are not new to the situation of defending titles ahead of their Skipper Cup match against Suva this Saturday.

Matawalu says they know what they need to do for challenges such as this, especially for Suva.

He says Suva will be the favourites as they have a lot of high profile rugby players.

He adds they have a lot of confidence in their coaches and players and they are looking forward to a good game.

Matawalu adds that it is the first game and it is going to set the benchmark for the rest of the season.

The Skipper Cup match and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge between Suva and Nadroga will be held at 3pm at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka this Saturday.

In other matches this Saturday, Nadi will take on Yasawa at 3pm at Churchill Park, Naitasiri will face Lautoka at 3pm at Ratu Cakobau Park while Namosi will face Tailevu at 3pm at Thompson Park.
