The Naitasiri rugby side is determined to sharpen their game as they prepare to face Vatukoula in the next Farebrother Challenge this Saturday.

Speaking to fijivillage Sports, head coach Timoci Tuinaviti says that while they won their recent games, there are still key areas that need tightening, especially their set pieces and defensive structures.

Tuinaviti says the team is working hard in training this week to address those weaknesses and ensure a more solid performance against their next challengers.

He says they also recognize the weight of the Farebrother Cup competition, where every provincial team is eager to dethrone the holders, but they remain grounded and focused, knowing that each game brings a new level of intensity.

Head coach also highlighted that every opponent comes with a purpose, and they must continue to improve and rise to the challenge.

Naitasiri will take on Vatukoula at 3pm this Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium.

In other Round 7 matches for Skipper Cup game, Suva will take on Nadroga, Nadi meets Tailevu, Macuata to play Ba, while Lautoka goes up against Malolo.
