The Crusaders are ready to unleash Flying Fijian wing Nemani Nadolo on Super Rugby.

Nadolo has been named on the Crusaders bench for Friday night’s match against the Rebels in Melbourne.

Coach Todd Blackadder said Nadolo was a line-breaker when he played for the Crusaders development side on Sunday.

Blackadder added Nadolo probably brings something a little bit different in the team and he has a real physical dynamic, dimension to his play.

Todd Blackadder’s made a number of changes to his starting 15, with Colin Slade starting at first-five and Israel Dagg returning to fullback.

Tomorrow the Crusaders meet the Rebels at 8.40pm while the Chiefs and Stormers game is at 6:35pm.
