Lack of depth in Nadroga bench

The Nadroga 15s rugby team will lack depth on the reserve bench against Tailevu in the 4th BSP Farebrother Sulliven Challenge match this afternoon.

With the unavailability of seven players that played in the Police inter-formation yesterday, Nadroga coach, Esala Nauga has been forced to include most of his under 20 reps in the bench who will come in as impact later in the game.

The only big names in Nadroga=s reserves are former flying Fijian winger, Isoa Naivua and halfback Seveci Taka while five other players have not played in top level rugby for the Stallions this season.

This is the same scenario Nauga faced in the match against Northland where he used his reserve players in the last ten minutes of the game.

Nadroga will be captained by Tiko Matawalu while, former National 15's inside center, Epeli Ruivadra will captain Tailevu.

The Nadroga and Tailevu BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy challenge kicks-off at 3.30pm today and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
