Nemani Nadolo and Jone Macilai have been named in the Crusaders team to play the Chiefs in Suva tomorrow night.
This match carries additional significance as it doubles as a clash between the top two teams in the New Zealand conference.
Head Coach, Todd Blackadder, has named a near full strength side with seven returning All Blacks in the 23, the only omissions are Ryan Crotty and Luke Romano, who are out through injury.
And he is confident they are fit and focused for the task ahead.
“Just make sure that we focus on what the guys are doing here so we spent a lot of time preparing to play the Highlanders and rebuilding competition,” said Todd Blackadder – Head Coach – Crusaders team.
With Nemani Nadolo and Jone Macilai in the starting 15 he has a lot of confident they will do well at home.
His experience this morning is one he has only encountered in Fiji and he feels priviledged.
Coaching his last season for the Crusaders he is adamant his successor will rake in more Fijian players into the team in the near future.
The Crusaders and Chiefs match will kickoff at the ANZ National Stadium at 7.35pm tomorrow.
