Nadi led 8-3 at half time.

Rewa made a strong start in the second half with a try to winger William Tabuaniqili under the post and was easily converted by Deve for a 10-8 10 lead to the visitors.

The Jettsetters without disappointing their fans managed to score another try to former Flying Fijians flanker Naulia Dawai as Nadi regained the lead 15-10.

Outside centre, Tevita Mociu scored another beautiful try in the 13th minute of the second half and was successfully converted by Toga.
