November 5, 2020 8:36 am

This weekend’s Skipper Cup semifinals will be interesting according to Fiji Rugby Union chief executive John O’Connor.

The FRU CEO says none of the semifinalists have the coveted Farebrother Sullivan trophy.

O’Connor adds this will give Nadroga, Suva, Namosi and Naitaisiri all the reasons to go all out in the Skipper Cup.

“We are happy that we’ve completed the 14th round last week and as was determined last week we have two exciting semifinals, more importantly, that none of the semifinalists has the Farebrother, so all are going for the Skipper Cup trophy and with the first prize”.
