Mental toughness is something Tailevu Rugby will be working on as they prepare to face defending champions Suva in the Skipper Cup Competition tomorrow.

Coach Samisoni Baikeitoga says from what they saw last week in their loss against Nadroga, building up character and mental toughness is something they need to work on.

He says tomorrow they are facing another giant and it will depend on how well they tackle the small things such as their game structure and running lines.

Tailevu will also be aiming to avenge their 24-15 loss to Suva in Round 4 of the competition.

Tailevu will meet Suva at 4pm tomorrow at the ANZ Stadium.

Namosi will face Yasawa in the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge and Skipper Cup match at 3pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.

In other Skipper Cup matches, Nadi will take on Lautoka at 3pm Saturday at Prince Charles Park while Nadroga will host Naitasiri at 3pm Saturday.
