This is it.

After three unbeaten HFC Bank Farebrother Challenge the BLK Nadroga and the BLK Naitasiri will battle it out in the fourth round at Prince Charles Park tomorrow.

However both sides are going into this game with so much hype as Nadroga won their past three games while Naitasiri have a good record in their past encounter against the Stallions.

Alivereti Veitokani and Kini Douglas will go head to head tomorrow as the two coaches named their two best Number 10s for the clash.

There are so many match‑ups that are crucial to either side winning this game, although this one in particular may be the most exciting.

Nadroga has named a strong line up with the likes of Setefano Somoca, Rupeni Nahiga, Nemani Nagusa at blindside flanker and Eremasi Radrodro at number eight.

Some of the big names in the backline are Sakiusa Gavidi at halfback, Eroni Vasiteri at inside center, Joeli Lutumailagi at right wing and Apisalome Waqatabu at fullback.

Meanwhile Naitasiri has also named a balanced strong side with Henry Seniloli and Douglas to combine on the halves, while former Nadroga rep Jerry Naureure will start at hooker for Naitasiri.

Other big names in the side are vice-captain and prop Joeli Veitayaki and Captain Isireli Kaloucava who will start at openside flanker.

Nadroga will host Naitasiri at 2pm tomorrow at Prince Charles Park, Nadi and you can catch the live commentary on Viti FM on 92.2FM.
