The Digicel Cup returns this weekend after a four-week break.

The Tavua team faces rugby giants, Nadi on Saturday and coach Jonetani Savuti says they will depend on their young outfit.

“We have a good backline with Rusiate Matai and Semisi Vauvau. While the backline is quick, our forwards also have a lot of pace and I think we can expect quick running rugby against Nadi on Saturday.”
