Rewa to work on discipline

Rewa head coach Sireli Ledua said his side must work on their discipline before their crucial play-off clash against Tavua.

The Jolame Delana-captained side held on for a 23-21 victory over hosts Vatukoula at Theodore Park last Saturday after leading 20-7 at halftime.

The team will focus on improving its discipline before hosting Tavua in round three of the Vodafone Vanua Championship play-offs at the Burebasaga District School ground on Saturday.

“We gave away too many penalties in the tackle area; that’s where our main focus will be heading into the final stage,” Ledua said.

The former Suva and Northland prop and captain admitted it was an emotional victory over the gold miners.

“It was a good game. Coming up to Vatukoula and playing on their home ground was not easy. It was a different environment for the boys.”

Ledua said the team had undergone a major rebuild this season.

“Probably 90 per cent of the boys are new this year, so getting the win was important for us.”

The halftime message was straightforward.

“The message was simple. We had to stick to our game plan, what we trained for throughout the week and what we talked about before the game in Vatukoula.

“We just need to keep believing in each other and have faith in what we are doing.”
