The Suva Rugby team have identified a few areas that need to be tightened up before they play Nadroga in the first Skipper Cup semi-final today.

Suva Coach Solomone Nute shared that they are working at playing 80-minutes rugby this weekend.

He says they started their preparations right after their 15-all draw with Nadroga at Lawaqa Park as they saw the need to strengthen the last 20 minutes of their game.

Nute says they controlled 60 minutes of the last game but the last 20 minutes was their downfall which cost them that Farebrother Challenge.

He says they have a good mixture of experienced and High-Performance Unit (HPU) players that have come through, so they are anticipating a good game against Nadroga.

Suva will meet Nadroga at 1pm in the first semi-finals, while Nadi will play Naitasiri at 3pm in the second semi final.

Both games will be held at the HFC Bank Stadium, Suva.
