Northland rugby coach, Ilivasi Tabua says his team’s focus and strong defensive set-up will be the key to beating Naitasiri at Ratu Cakobau Park tonight.

This is the lone Digicel Cup match scheduled today.

“We are more focused on what we wanted to do and how we want to play it, you know that Naitasiri is always gonna be tough. Every game is always gonna be stronger, that’s no different with Naitasiri, in utilising our daily options and minimising our mistakes as well as having positive that we believe in them will work for us."
