2 teams from Fiji are sitting pretty heading into the final round of the PRC, aiming at them is the best of the Pacific itching for a finals berth.
The tightly contested PRC matches will be played in Sigatoka, on Fiji’s beautiful Coral Coast. The forecast is for mild overcast weather and 3 crunch games are locked in for an entertaining day.
The Fiji Barbarians & the Fiji Warriors are close, but not quite guaranteed a run in the final yet. Today we caught up with the Warriors at their Captains Run and spirits are very high, they have sprung some changes for the last round and look motivated for victory.
Watch a Warriors interview below:
The matches are:
Tautahi Gold vs Upolu Samoa at 11am
Fiji Barbarians vs Savai'i Samoa at 2pm
Fiji Warriors vs Tau'uta Reds at 5pm
In these games some interesting and challenging encounters emerge, some for the good and some for records they will not want to have.
If Upolu come second tomorrow in their match, they will be the first ever team in the PRC to go winless. In their way to avoid this record is the grunty Tautahi Gold team, the desired win will not be easy, but nor will sleeping after 5 games to zip on the score-sheet. Upolu to date has strung one good half together, tomorrow is their last shot to end the PRC with a smile.
If the Fiji teams win, they are both in the final, if this happens it too will be a first. Never before have 2 teams from one nation made the finalists in the PRC.
