The game took place at the USP grounds in Suva on Saturday, where Nabua White asserted their dominance from the outset.

Team manager Solomoni Nakati praised the players for their performance on the field, noting that while they had missed some opportunities, he was pleased with the team’s overall effort. He stressed the importance of improving certain aspects, particularly the line-out and scrum as they prepare for upcoming matches.
“The boys really did well, showed their strength and ability during the match. We had more opportunities but didn’t capitalize on them. Overall, they executed well on the field,” Nakati said.
He acknowledged that there is always room for growth as they approach the final three rounds of the competition, stating the team would focus on refining these skills in training.
