The Iliesa Tanivula coached Crusaders side will have to overcome the wet conditions at Churchill park in the Colonial Cup match against the Knights - who are used to playing in these conditions later this afternoon.

Tanivula, who has had a successful Sanyo Cup and Farebrother challenge with Nadi last year is adamant that with the line-up he has the boys can deliver their game-plan but will have to adjust quickly to produce a good game.

The Crusaders/Knights game kicks off at 3pm this afternoon and you can catch a live-commentary of the match on our sister-station Viti FM.

The other Colonial Cup match to be held at 3pn at Garvey park in Tavua will see the Bligh Roosters hosting the Sharks on home-ground.

In last night's opening Colonial Cup match, defending champions the Stallions beat the Highlanders by 15-12.
