Nadroga coach expects tough challenge from Naitasiri

Nadroga rugby coach, Esala Nauga is expecting a tough Naitasiri side as the two teams get ready to clash in the opening match of the Skipper Cup competition tonight.

Meanwhile Naitasiri coach, Joji Rinakama says they will approach this game as any other game in the competition.

He adds they also have a young side which will be led by their captain Sireli Kaloucava, Peni Degei and a few players who were part of the team last year.

The match between Nadroga and Naitasiri will kick off at 6.30 tonight at the ANZ Stadium.
