Digicel Cup semis heats up

Digicel Cup semis heats up

If any team knows what it takes to succeed in beating defending Digicel Cup champion Nadroga on their home soil then it is the Lautoka team.

Lawaqa Park has so often proven to be a graveyard for visiting teams but the sugar city boys have in the past been the Stallions biggest foes in front of their home crowd.

It dates back to 1979 when an unknown Lautoka team ended Nadroga's nine year reign as the Farebrother Sullivan trophy champions and that was repeated this season when they again defeated Naitasiri in the Digicel Cup round robin games.

Nadroga will host Lautoka in one of the Digicel Cup semifinals and Fiji Rugby Union development manager Sale Sorovaki has summed up the Penione Ranitu led sides hopes in Sigatoka in two words B belief and bravery.

Sorovaki said that Lautoka have to be competitive in probably the toughest arena to play rugby in Fiji.
