Cuvu coach, Metuisela Navitio, says the players are aware of the mission ahead as they have been nurtured in such a way coming through the Nadroga Rugby development programs.

“According to the target like other team we are targeting to be the winner for the Deans competition but we do respect our opponents which is Marist Brothers High School who has been in the Deans competition for a couple of years.”

Cuvu College defeated former Deans champions Lelean Memorial School by 20-14 in the quarter-final last weekend.
