Nadi Rugby Teams Show Their Strength in Recent Fiji Sun Coverage
The Fiji Sun recently highlighted the impressive performances of Nadi's rugby teams, showcasing their dedication and skill on the field.
“McDonald’s Nadi U20 kept their Skipper Cup title defence on track with a convincing 29–11 victory over Lautoka at Churchill Park Ground 3 last Saturday.”
It's always great to see our Pacific neighbours celebrating their local sporting achievements, and a recent Fiji Sun article shines a light on some fantastic rugby from over in Fiji. The article reports on the McDonald's Nadi U20 team, who are defending champions in the Skipper Cup, securing a strong 29–11 victory against Lautoka at Churchill Park. This win keeps their title defence firmly on track, with captain Thomas Lawelua praising his team's efforts despite admitting their preparation wasn't perfect.
The McDonald's Nadi Women’s side also opened their Subrails Marama Cup Championship campaign with an emphatic 89–12 win over the Khelvin Civil Engineering Lautoka Maroons Women. Captain Laisa Seru noted how the team focused on improving their defence after their first match, a strategy that clearly paid off. Both Nadi teams are now looking ahead to challenging away games in Suva, aiming to continue their winning ways. While this news comes from Fiji, it's a wonderful reminder of the vibrant rugby culture across the Pacific, something we share and celebrate here in Samoa too. You can learn more about the beautiful region of Nadi and its surroundings.
