Ba Rugby aims to bounce back against Nadroga

Ba is hoping to turn the lessons of a difficult Skipper Cup campaign into a stronger display against Nadroga at Lawaqa Park.

Coach Ben Tora said his young squad is making steady progress and must improve with every match. “I’m just focusing on my boys, a very young, talented group of boys. Our focus is to improve on every game. The number of teams that are competing, they are all good teams, tough teams, and we’re hoping to get a win against Nadroga this week.”

Despite the losses, Tora said the players had stayed together. He identified that unity as important to the team’s effort to recover its form. “Despite the losses that we had, the boys kept on uniting. The last thing is staying together and heads up, so we can conquer every game that comes our way.”

The coaching staff is also concentrating on the development of players who are in their first or second year with the side. Osborn said many had come from the islands and were still adapting to the demands of the competition. “Most of our players are just all from the islands. Most of them have not been here. This is maybe the first year or second year for them. We are trying to shake them up so that we can face more opponents.”

Ba will play Nadroga in Sigatoka at 3 p.m. The Tailevu-Rewa match will be shown live on FBC Sports, while viewers overseas can watch it on VITI+ for $20 FJD.
