He has emphasized the thorough preparations of the schools participating in the competition.
“The match between the emerging powerhouse Adi Cakobau School and the Naitasiri Warriors promises to be electrifying, hoping to see ACS for the first time on the rugby field will be exciting,” said Corerega.
