Nadroga faces Naitasiri in the final of the Digicel Cup this Saturday and questions have been raised on players fitness.

Nadroga spokesman Tiko Matawalu says despite players being involved in domestic and international rugby from the beginning of the year, fatigue is not an issue.

Matawalu says in the semi-final, the players had a slow start but Nadroga was the one with the greater fitness.

“Against Suva, we saw fatigue in some players but the finals is a different ball game. The players will have the energy to burn because at the end of the day the finals is where the rest of the ten teams would have wanted to be.”

Nadroga takes on Naitasiri at 3.30pm this Saturday at Lawaqa Park.
