Nadroga 15s rugby manager, Paula Biu says the recent flash floods in the area have not deterred them from preparing for the Digicel Cup season.

The Fiji Rugby Union cancelled their Round 3 match against Macuata at Subrail Park on Saturday however, Biu says in the meantime, they will continue to build a strong outfit.

“We started our training again after missing out for two weeks due to the current floods that affected in Nadroga and Navosa, but it hasn’t stopped the players from their own training. We will carry on preparing for our next match.”
