Injury hits Nadroga rugby team

The Nadroga 15's rugby team is now feeling a heavy injury toll ahead of the third BSP Farebrother Sullivan trophy challenge this Saturday against Suva.

The Stallions are without top players like Mosese Volavola, Emosi Vucago, Jonetani Ralulu, Simeli Koniferedi and Joeli Lutumailagi who are still recovering from the injury their suffered in the Digicel cup final against Naitasiri.

Coach Esala Nauga's side was tested yesterday in the 12 all draw against Northland and with an inexperienced reserve bench which consisted mainly of U-20 reps, he opted to remain with his run on team until the 70th minute when he decided to ring the changes.

Nauga will be again forced next weekend to field the same team if this players will not recover in time.

The Nadroga team will host Suva this Saturday at Lawaqa Park.
