Defending Skipper Cup Senior Men’s Champion Suva will be focusing on improving their set pieces this weekend when they take on Nadi in the semi final.

After surviving a scare from Vinod Patel Ba last week in the quarter final, escaping with a 28-16 win, coach Solomoni Nute says their focus this weekend is to control the game and that is through their set pieces.

Nute says he was happy with the win against Ba but he was not content with how the team played and they will be going back to the drawing board and try to iron out their mistakes for this weekend’s clash.

Nute adds one of their main strength as well that they will be looking to polish up this weekend is their defence which helped them against Ba.

Suva will take on Nadi in the first semi final and Naitasiri will play Nadroga in the second semi final this Saturday with the venues yet to be confirmed
