The Tau'uta Red's 13-8 victory over the Tautahi Gold on Saturday, May 6, kept up Tonga's hope for a place in the Grand Final of the IRB Pacific Cup.
As we are heading for Round 5th and the final round of the Pacific Cup, the points table is :
1. Fiji Warriors 11
2. Fiji Barbarians 10?
2. Tau...uta Reds 10?
4. Savaii Samoa 9?
5. Upolu Samoa 7?
6. Tautahi Gold 5
The Round 5th fixtures starting on May 13:
Tautahi Gold v Fiji Barbarians at Teufaiva Stadium
Fiji Warriors v Tau'uta Reds at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka
Savaii Samoa v Upolu Samoa at Marist Grounds, Apia.
Molisoni 'Otukolo, the manager of the Tau'uta Reds is optimistic that his team will get to the final, and play the Fiji Warriors. He said that there were a lot of possibilities, but foremost that they must beat the Warriors.
A victory by the Tautahi over the Fiji Barbarians could also deprive an all-Fijians final. If Molisoni has it his way he would like the Tau'uta to beat the Warriors, the Tautahi to beat the Barbarians, and a victory by 'Upolu over Savai'i, "then we are sure for a final against the Fiji Warriors, I think in Suva."
