Skipper Cup: Nadroga aims to tighten defence ahead of clash with Suva in round 7 clash

Nadroga coach Ratu Jale says they will be focusing on strengthening their defence and decision-making when they face Suva in Round 7 of the Skipper Cup Competition this week.

Jale admits they had several opportunities to secure a win against Tailevu last week, but their players failed to capitalise.

Nadroga lost to Tailevu 29-31.

He adds that the team will be aiming for a stronger start in Saturday’s game.

Suva will take on Nadroga at 3pm this Saturday at the Suva Grammar Ground.

In other Round 7 matches, Nadi will take on Tailevu, Macuata meets Ba, while Lautoka goes up against Malolo.
