The Natabua High School Under 18 rugby team will be coming into the Vodafone Super Deans quarter finals with hopes to go one step further when they clash with defending champion Queen Victoria School.

Natabua Under 18 coach, Raikawasa Loanakadavu says they are not feeling any pressure but are excited to represent the western division this weekend.

Natabua has never won the Deans Trophy and Loanakadavu says they will take one game at a time knowing that QVS is a champion side.

Natabua lost to Ba Provincial Freebird Institute 16-13 in the Western Zone final.

Loanakadavu says they are ironing out their scrums and line-outs as they expect a battle up front with the forwards of QVS.

Loanakadavu also confirms that seven of their players have been named in the Fiji Under 18 extended squad and this will boost their preparations for this weekend.

Natabua will face QVS at 11.20am in the second quarter final.

In the other Under 18 quarters, Ba Provincial Free Bird Institute will meet Nasinu Secondary School at 10am, Suva Grammar School will play Lelean Memorial School at 12.50pm while RKS will take on Marist at 3.30pm.

All games will be played at the HFC Bank Stadium.
