The Fiji Rugby Union has confirmed the fixtures for the much-anticipated Skipper Cup semi-finals.

The playoffs will be held at the HFC Bank Stadium and Bidesi Park at Laucala Bay, Suva this Saturday.

The action will commence at 9am at the HFC Bank Stadium with Nasinu taking on Namosi in the first semi-final of the Marama Cup.

At 11am, the action resumes with Suva taking on Kadavu in the second semi-final.

Nasinu will be a team to watch in the semis after a dominant 67-22 win over Naitasiri in the quarter-finals at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka last Saturday.

In the Skipper Cup U20 semi-finals, Ba plays Nadi at 11am at Bidesi Park followed by Naitasiri vs Suva at 1pm.

A thrilling encounter is expected as all teams will be vying for a place in the finals.

At 1pm, Nadi will take on Malolo at the HFC Bank Stadium in the first Skipper Cup semi-finals, while Tailevu and Naitasiri will conclude the action at 3pm.

With defending champions Nadroga eliminated, a tough and brutal encounter is expected as the search for a new champion commences.
