Nadroga rugby out to avoid another slow start against Namosi

Nadroga will be hoping to avoid another slow start this afternoon when they take on Namosi in the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge and Skipper Cup match at Ratu Cakobau Park.

Last Saturday against Suva, Nadroga trailed 22-0 at half-time and eventually went on to lose the match 32-26.

Another area Nadroga will be aiming to improve on is their scrum where they were dominated by the Suva forwards for much of the match last week.

Nadroga will have players like 7s reps and brothers Sevuloni Mocenacagi and Kavekini Tabu, Emosi Vucago, Eremasi Radrodro, Jonetani Ralulu and Rupeni Nasiga.

Namosi will have the services of Alivereti Veitokani, Peni Matawalu, Aseri Robarobalevu, Jone Naqiri, Eparama Luvata, Lepani Raiyala, Onisi Ratave and Meli Nakarawa.

Nadroga takes on Namosi at 3pm today in the Skipper Cup and Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge at Ratu Cakobau Park.

In other Skipper matches today, Yasawa will take on Suva at 3pm at Churchill Park while Nadi meets Naitasiri at 3pm at Prince Charles Park.
