Naitasiri coach Koli Sewabu says defending the HFC Bank Farebrother Trophy is always a difficult task for them.

Sewabu says it was a milestone achievement for him as a coach when they defend the title from rugby giant Nadroga last Saturday.

“We talk really had about how difficult it is to win the Farebrother. It is three times more difficult to try and defend the title especially when you come across Nadroga and for me personally four times in two years and I’m glad I’ve got that mark in my back now.”

Naitasiri beat Nadroga 26-17 at Nausori’s Ratu Cakobau Park last Saturday.

Tailevu will be the next challenger and will meet Naitasiri at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori on Saturday.
