The Vodafone Fiji Bati’s loss to the PNG Kumuls last week on home soil is a tough pill to swallow but they will want to make sure that they take it as a huge learning for them and improve for this weekend’s round 2 of the Pacific Rugby League Bowl Championship Clash against the Cook Islands Aitu.
While speaking after the loss, Captain Tui Kamikamica says they cannot afford to dwell on the result against the Kumuls.
Kamikamica says they will reset and turn their focus on to the Cook Islands as they know it will be another tough battle again at home.
He says silly mistakes let them down, especially when they are attacking inside the Kumuls’ territory, so they will work on ironing out those mistakes before the game this weekend.
The Bati will need to beat the Cook Islands and hope the Aitu defeats the Kumuls the following weekend, with for-and-against to take the Pacific Bowl to a decider.
The Bati will play the Aitu at 8.10pm this Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
Meanwhile, the Vodafone Fiji Bulikula will take on the Cook Islands Moana at 6pm Saturday at the HFC Bank Stadium as well in round 2 of the Pacific Women’s Rugby League Bowl Championship.
