For Tupou, the challenge has not only been about results but also about helping a group of young players adjust to the demands and intensity of provincial rugby.
He says many of his players have performed strongly at club level, but the Skipper Cup has presented them with a different challenge.
He says the players perform very well at club level, but they are adapting to another level at the Skipper Cup.
The coach believes the experience of playing against some of the best provincial sides in the country is helping his young players develop both physically and mentally.
Their win last week has also provided a timely boost as Suva looks to build some momentum heading into the second half of the competition.
Tupou says the focus now is on maintaining that improvement and ensuring the players learn from each match.
With Kadavu standing in their way in Round 6, the coach says Suva will be looking to carry the confidence from last week's victory into another important encounter.
Suva will meet Kadavu at Nasese ground this Saturday at 3pm.
