A penalty try in the second half gave RKS the edge they needed but it was still anybody’s game with QVS responding with a try to prop Ilai Nabati keeping the scores at 14-13.
QVS punished itself with its own defensive blunders giving way for RKS to score the winning try through winger Vilisoni Cakacaka.
RKS head coach, Isaia Naqicatabua says he is proud of his players for their tremendous performance.
“I know that playing against QVS will never be easy for the boys from Delainakaikai. We came here with the expectation that the game would be tough and that QVS would be giving us a very good game. But I salute my boys for their never-say-die attitude”
He has thanked their opponent for a great challenge.
