Serua Rugby bank on team unity

A revamped Serua rugby team has made some tweaks in their forward and backline structures with the aim of securing a win against Nasinu at the Uprising Sports Centre in Pacific Harbour on Saturday.

This was the view of Serua Rugby Union (SRU) vice-president Penaia Latianara in an interview with SUNsports yesterday.

“Preparation has been going good and we’re looking forward to this game against Nasinu,” he said.

“It’s a good chance for the vanua teams to qualify for the Skipper Cup.”

Serua will host Nasinu at the Uprising grounds in round one of the Vodafone Vanua’s elimination draws.

“I want to invite all the people from the province of Serua to come down to the Uprising ground and support the team in their first match of the year,” Latianara said.

“The combination between the players and team unity have been working well for our team.”

Latianara said their preparation had been affected by bad weather and the lack of training facilities.

“The Nasinu players have more exposure. Our players are young and they gel well together as a team.”

The match kicks off at 3pm
