Defending champions Malolo plans to bounce back from their 31-33 loss to McDonald's Nadi by beating Fresh Choice Tailevu at Nakelo School grounds tomorrow.
Speaking to SUNsports yesterday, Malolo head coach Rupeni Nasiga said they need to improve on their decision-making after reviewing the Nadi match.
"It was a close game, but there are a few areas we need to rectify and improve on, especially how we control the game and our decision making," the former Flying Fijians lock said.
"It is crucial to building momentum in every game. We made the same mistakes against Suva and Nadi.
''Also we need to improve with our conversions and lineouts. Those are key areas the boys have been working on this week."
He said preparations for the Tailevu clash were progressing well.
"We will try our best to defeat Tailevu on their home ground."
