Nagusa likely to start against the Crusaders

Nemani Nagusa is likely to return to the starting line up of the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua when they meet the Crusaders.

Coach Mick Byrne says Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta is set to miss out this week after he sustained an injury in their match against Moana Pasifika.

Nagusa last week returned to the match day squad after serving his suspension for a red card earlier in the year.

The Drua meet the Crusaders at 7.05pm Friday.

In other matches, the Reds will take on Moana Pasifika at 9.45pm Friday, the Chiefs will play the Force at 4.35pm Saturday, the Rebels will face the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday, the Blues will meet the Brumbies at 9.45pm Saturday, and the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Sunday.
