The Nadi Rugby Union Chairman Jeff Tamata says they are mindful that the Yasawa team is new in the Skipper Cup Competition, but they will not forget that they were champions of the 2019 Vanua Cup Competition.

Tamata says with that in mind they feel Yasawa is a formidable team.

He says as their training was affected because of the COVID-19 restrictions, they are excited to return to the field.

Nadi will take on Yasawa at Churchill Park this Saturday.

The Skipper Cup match and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge between Suva and Nadroga will be held at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka this Saturday.

In other matches this Saturday, Naitasiri will face Lautoka at Ratu Cakobau Park while Namosi will face Tailevu at Thompson Park.
