Northland hopes to upset Nadroga at second challenge of Farebrother Trophy

The Northland rugby side will be hoping to upset Nadroga when the two sides will meet in the second challenge of the HFC Bank Farebrother Sullivan Trophy this weekend.

Northland last won the Prestigious Farebrother Trophy in 2008 when they beat Tailevu 15-13 at Ratu Cakobau Park.

Despite being dominated by many young players, coach Watisoni Ratulevu is confident of a good outing from the team.

Meanwhile, Nadroga Rugby Union President Tiko Matawalu said they will not take Northland lightly as their preparation remains the same knowing how strong Northland is with their forwards.

Matawalu added they are expected to field the same team that beat Naitasiri last week which will feature prominent players like Emosi Vucago, Setefano Somoca, Mitieli Nacagilevu, Apisalome Waqatabu and Etonia Naba.

Nadroga will take on Northland at 3pm this Saturday at Lawaqa Park and you can catch the live commentary of this match on our sister station, Viti FM.
