The resilient Vinod Patel Ba rugby team will be gunning for a win against a strong Naitasiri side in their Skipper Cup clash at Ratu Cakobau Park, Nausori, on Saturday.
This was the gist of head coach and former Flying Fijian star winger Vilimoni Delasau’s interview with SUNsports yesterday.
“We’ll prepare well for the next few days and hopefully we’ll get the result we want,” Delasau said.

“We will need to improve on our lineouts and set piece so that our backline can attack with grace.”
Delasau said his side would need to do the small things right to compete against a quality team like Naitasiri.

Delasau said he hopes his side gives Naitasiri, a good game of rugby.
“We have a lot of respect for them and the players are motivated to give Naitasiri a good match,” he said.
“We love every opportunity to play the big teams and this is what we’ve been dreaming of the last few years.”
Delasau said he has seen a major growth in the side from their time in the Vanua Championship and now to the Skipper Cup.
“We’re coming for a win; we’re not coming in to be in second place. Hopefully we’ll make our fans proud this weekend.”
