The Taveuni Rugby team will not be underestimating Nadi when the two sides meet in Round 5 of the Skipper Cup tomorrow, as this will be the first time they face each other in the competition.
Speaking to fijivillage Sports this morning, backline coach Alusio Vakaoqotabua says they are new to the competition and will not underestimate any team.
He says they are expecting Nadi to bring a physical game, as they are also a champion side.
In terms of preparation, Vakaoqotabua says they are sticking to the same systems they have followed since the start of the season, as these have got them through so far.
He adds that they are also grateful for the support from their Western-based team and the people of Naduri in accommodating their needs.
