The Inia Batikota captained Northland side is sticking to their game plan in order to upset Namosi in their Skipper Cup round three fixture at Gatward Park in Korovou on Saturday.
“We are not going to play catch up rugby like what we did against Nadi last week,” Batikota said.
Jacks Nadi won 24-18.
“Against Nadi, it was not only a good game but also a good lesson for us,” he said.
He is aware that Namosi is going to bank on key players like full back Avete Deve, half back Suluka Tunaka and winger Roko Vakatalesau to rattle them before their home crowd.
“Our main focus is to win. We have been working hard on our weaknesses.
“We are not going to repeat our shortfalls against Nadi where we did not play our game plan. We tried to catch up in the second half but it was too late.”
Other Skipper Cup matches tomorrow:
Nadi vs Nadroga at Lawaqa Park, SIgatoka, Rewa host Tailevu at the Burebasaga ground in Rewa while Naitasiri will be challenged by Suva in the double header (INKK Farebrother trophy) at the Naluwai grounds.
All matches kick off at 3pm.
