Suva women’s rugby team proved far too strong for Yasawa, cruising to a 67–0 victory in their Subrail Marama Cup clash at Churchill Park, Lautoka, yesterday.
The match was called off midway through the second half after Yasawa suffered a string of injuries, leaving them short of experienced players. Several of their replacements were young and unable to match Suva’s physicality and pace.
From the outset, the Capital side played a more structured game, showing ruthless intent in attack and making the most of their opportunities to pile on points.
Yasawa struggled to withstand the sustained pressure, with Suva’s forward dominance and slick backline movements causing problems throughout.
Suva captain Reape Didreuva credited the win to discipline and execution.
“First of all, thank God for enabling us to win our game, and thank you to my teammates and our management,” Didreuva said.
“Our plan was to get more points and execute our game plan. In the first 10 minutes, we pushed their scrum and won our lineouts that’s when we knew we could win this match. We adapted well to the good weather, and our standout plays came from both the forwards and the backs.”
With a two-week break ahead, Suva will now shift their focus to their next opponents, Nasinu.
Didreuva also acknowledged the support from the sidelines and beyond.
“Thanks to all our supporters and our families watching from home.”
