SKIPPER CUP:
Nadi aim to topple Naitasiri
The Savenaca Aria-coached Jacks Nadi will be aiming for a bonus point win over Qaqa Naitasiri in the third round of the Skipper Cup at Prince Charles Park in Nadi this Saturday.
The home side recorded their bonus win in the last match against Northland and wants to maintain their winning run.
Naitasiri is coming off an impressive two-match undefeated run.
“This match is not to be missed after the postponement of the matches last week,”he said. “All matches are as important but we like to set our futures matches with the aim for home semi-final. He added that the Jetsetters love to record another bonus point win but first things first.
“But we have to play a good game plan and focus on it then the win will automatically fall into place.” Injured captains Samuela Saqiwa and fullback Nemani Driu are back in training and are expected to make the run on side. “Most of the players who were injured had returned to training and likely to take their spots on the team which will be named tomorrow.
Lasaro has called on the Nadi fans to turn up.
“This is another home game for Nadi and we are picking up momentum and this depends on the vocal Nadi fans.
The Nadi – Naitasiri matches kicks off at 3pm with the Under 20 at midday.
In other games Suva play Namosi at Thomson Park, Navua, Northland host Nadroga at Gatward Park and Macuata face Malolo.
