Last weekend’s narrow loss to defending champions Malolo has inspired Naitasiri ahead of tomorrow’s Skipper Cup quarterfinal in Suva.
Head coach Timoci Tinaviti says the team has worked hard on its set-piece and is back to full strength.
Several key players missed last week’s match while away with the Flying Fijians, Fiji Sevens and Sukuna Bowl camps.
Tinaviti says Naitasiri will need to step up—and has promised fans the team will give Malolo a strong contest.
