The players have dedicated the past two months to intensive training, and they are eager to showcase their efforts this Saturday at the newly refurbished Govind Park, previously more known for football events.
Kautoga noted the significance of this match, stating, “We see Suva as champions and Ba will be going in as underdogs in the first round of the Skipper Cup.” The local community is hoping for an engaging display of rugby action as they rally around their team.
In addition, the first round of the Skipper Cup will feature several other matches: Lautoka will take on Nadi, Naitasiri will face Malolo, Nadroga will battle Macuata, and Tailevu will clash with Vatukoula. This weekend shapes up to be an exciting kickoff for the rugby season in Fiji.
