The Naitasiri team is expecting a tough match from an undefeated Suva side on Saturday for their round 8 Skipper Cup and Farebrother match.

Speaking to fijivillage Sports, Naitasiri Manager, Penaia Naqase says the players are aware that Suva is a strong team, so the players will need to give their 100 percent come this weekend.

Naqase says the team knows the value of the Vanua and the supporters and they will want to win for them.

He says despite their victory against Vatukoula last week, they still need to work on their defence and attack which they are expected to iron out this week.

Naitasiri is currently second on the points table with 25 points while Suva currently leads with 29 points.

Naitasiri plays Suva at 3pm Saturday at the Naitasiri Secondary School ground.

In other Round 8 matches, Nadroga will face Nadi, Ba plays Vatukoula, Macuata meets Malolo while Lautoka host Tailevu.
