The Nadroga Rugby Union has received a timely boost ahead of the 2026 Skipper Cup season following the official handover of new training equipment at Talenavuruvuru yesterday.<\/p>\n

The equipment was donated by United States-based, locally owned company Bula Fiji USA LLC Caregiving Agency, as part of its ongoing support for grassroots rugby development in Nadroga.<\/p>\n

Nadroga Rugby Legends President Ratu Tevita Dikedike formally presented the gear to Nadroga Rugby Union President Jiuta Waqavonovono during a ceremony attended by former players and officials.<\/p>\n

The donation is expected to strengthen preparations for provincial players, ensuring they are better equipped as they look to uphold Nadroga\u2019s proud rugby legacy.<\/p>\n
