Suva Sevens stars Terio Tamani and Sakiusa Siqila lead FMF Suva’s Skipper Cup lineup in today’s clash with Malolo at Mana Island’s Yawini Park. Tamani slots in at number nine, while Siqila is named the starting fullback, a combination that pointers to a dynamic attack from Suva’s back line.
The Suva pack is built around size and experience, with Inoke Ravuiwasa, Apolosi Tora, Nemani Sarasau and captain Mosese Naiova reported as part of a powerful forward grouping. In the midfield, Sevuloni Lutu and Levani Kuruimudu will look to knit play together, with speed on the flanks supplied by Paul Dolokoto and others in the mix.
This lineup continues to reflect a strategic blend of Fiji Sevens experience with added depth. Earlier reports also highlighted the inclusion of debutants Josateki Seru, Viliame Rasau and Joji Vusoniyasi alongside seasoned players like Tamani, Siqila and Tira Wilagi, underscoring Suva’s aim to build both consistency and competition for places.
The 3:00 pm kickoff at Yawini Park (Mana Island) is part of a weekend of Skipper Cup action, with matches scheduled across the country tomorrow including Ba vs Tailevu at Burebasaga ground, Macuata hosting Lautoka at Subrail Park, and Nadi traveling to Vatukoula. Nadroga is set to challenge Naitasiri for the Inkk Farebrother trophy at 3 pm tomorrow at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori. Fans can watch Suva’s match live and exclusive on FBC TV.
Summary: Terio Tamani and Sakiusa Siqila anchor a Suva lineup packed with experience and youthful depth for a big clash at Mana Island, as Skipper Cup action continues across Fiji with a slate of intriguing early-season matchups.
Optional commentary: The combination of a sturdy forward pack with Lutu and Kuruimudu in the midfield, plus Dolokoto’s pace, suggests Suva will aim to control territory early and create quick ball for fast switches of play. If the front-foot pressure lands early, Suva could set the tempo for a successful campaign.
