The Warriors are gearing up for a showdown against the Kaiviti Silktails in the Jersey Flegg Cup for the second time in just six weeks.

The challenge of facing the Silktails on their home turf in Fiji awaits the One New Zealand warriors tomorrow at a 12.00pm kick-off.

Today, the Warriors touched down in Lautoka, ready to battle it out at Churchill Park for the 20th-round under-21 clash.

The weather is expected to play a crucial role once again, just like it did during their last encounter on June 8.

On that scorching day, the Warriors fought back from a 6-10 deficit to snatch a 16-10 victory, under the sweltering 28-degree heat.

It seems like tomorrow's weather forecast is set to be as hot as before.

Despite the Silktails languishing in 14th place and going winless in 17 games, the Warriors are placed just one spot above them in 13th with five wins, a draw, and 12 losses from 18 games.

It's a crucial match for both teams as they aim to prove their mettle on the field.

As the players prepare to take the field, they know that only their best performance will suffice.

It's important to maintain their focus, stick to their game plan, and leave everything out on the field.

With history on their side from their previous victory, the Warriors will look to build on that success and come out on top once again.

It's all to play for, and as they say in the world of Rugby League - it's game on, mate!
