Defending Nadroga faces a mammoth task ahead of them in defending both of the country's prestigious provincial rugby cups up for grabs-the Digicel Cup and the Fare Brother Sullivan Trophy.

The stallions who are currently ranked second on the Digicel Cup points standing will have to be Ovalau this weekend and Northland next weekend to remain top contenders.

A loss would mean that the stallions miss out a semi final of the Digicel Cup this year.

Looking at the matches that will be played at 3pm this Saturday, Namosi take on Naitasiri, Navosa host Lautoka, Nadi plays Suva, Nadroga takes on Ovalau, Tavua plays Tailevu and Rewa is up against Northland.

Meanwhile, looking at the Farebrother Sullivan Trophy Challenge, Nadroga kicks off their campaign next month with their game against Ovalau on the 21st.
