Super RugbyNadolo injury boost for Lions2016-07-17 20:17POST A COMMENTSHARE THISNemani Nadolo (Gallo Images)RELATED LINKS

  • Cape Town - The Crusaders will travel to Johannesburg to play the Lions without Nemani Nadolo and Joe Moody as the two are still battling with injuries.

    Fijian international Nadolo pulled a hamstring while Moody damaged nerves in his neck two weeks ago and still hasn't quite recovered. 

    The Christchurch franchise will have the experienced trio of Johnny McNicholl, Sam Whitelock and Andy Ellis coming back from injury, however. 

    The Crusaders play the Lions after losing 35-10 to the Hurricanes at home last weekend.

    Earlier this year, the Crusaders were able to the pip the Lions at home in Johannesburg 43-37, so the visitors will have the psychological edge.

 I actually think you saffas handle the big blokes better than the smaller wee guys like "Beauden Bok Beater Barrett " as one SA fan calls him and Ben Smith.

 There is one thing about Nadolo - he is as strong as an ox, but he is slow in pace - very slow for a wing.  That is why it is in general play possible to defend against him, unless he is within meters from the tryline.
