Namosi rugby coach Max Hughes has named a strong side to face Suva in the first semifinal of the Skipper Cup tonight.

Hughes named a mix of new and experienced players who he believe can do the job against the capital city side tonight.

Captain Iaboko Bose will lead his forwards alongside Sevuloni Tawake at openside flanker and Asaeli Boko at number eight.

In the backline, former national sevens playmaker Ilai Tinai will start at number 10 and will combine with Etuate Nete at scrum half while Leo Naikasau will start on the blindside wing.

Meanwhile Pleass Global Limited through its brand AquaSafe Natural Artesian Water yesterday presented a $5000 cheque to the Namosi Rugby Union to prepare them through the Skipper Cup eliminations.

Suva beat Namosi in round nine 18-8.

Suva will host Namosi at 7 tonight at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.

In the other semi-final, Nadroga will host Naitasiri at 3pm tomorrow.
