Farebrother Trophy holder Jack’s Nadi will do everything possible to defend the title against Nadroga at Prince Charles Park tomorrow.

The jetsetters won the coveted silverware after 10 years defeating Naitasiri 14-10 last week.

Nadi played the Stallions in 2016 and fell far short 32—13 at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka.

Nadi Rugby Union president Mataiasi Nabau said they would be in full force on Saturday.

“Nadroga is the champion side and we respect that,” Nabau said.

“The boys are preparing well injury-free and we expect a good and a tough match against Nadroga.

“We are ready for our first defence of the Farebrother and we trying to get the boys physically, mentally and spiritually fit come game day,” he said.

“I don’t think we will make drastic changes but the best 23 players will be selected.

“We want our fans to come and witness the top class match between the traditional neighbours.”

Nabau thanked Fiji Rugby Union for accepting their request for the game to be played at their home ground.

The match kicks off at 3pm.
