Vodafone Flying Fijians wing Nemani Nadolo has been named in the Crusaders starting line up to face the Sharks this Saturday.

Nadolo has been impressive for the Crusaders and is the equal second leading try scorer in Super Rugby with six tries in seven games, including two in the Crusaders’ 57-29 win against the Queensland Reds in Brisbane last Sunday.   

Crusaders Coach Todd Blackadder has made three changes to the team that beat the Reds.

Dominic Bird will partner Sam Whitelock at locks, Willi Heinz starts at halfback while Tom Taylor will replace Israel Dagg at fullback.

The Crusaders host the Sharks at 7.35pm Saturday while the Hurricanes play the Highlanders at 7.35pm tomorrow.
