Firepower for Crusaders ahead of Reds clash<br />
AN EXPECTED call-up for<br />
former Wallaby Digby Ioane<br />
will add extra firepower to the<br />
Crusaders side that stirs more<br />
nightmares in the Reds ranks<br />
than any other team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders have averaged<br />
six tries and 47 points, when<br />
demolishing the Reds four times<br />
since they met in the 2013 finals<br />
series.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y meet the Reds on Saturday<br />
night in Brisbane.<br />

Why not put me<br />
to the test<br />
As I do stand out<br />
from the rest<br />
If you’re ready to<br />

So go ahead give<br />
me a try!!!<br />
Ioane has been hindered by<br />
a hip injury, since exploding<br />
through four Reds defenders for<br />
a trademark try at the Brisbane<br />
Global Rugby Tens last month.<br />
He made his return in the<br />
curtain-raiser last Saturday in<br />
Dunedin, before the Crusaders<br />
pegged back a 27-6 deficit for<br />
a brilliant 30-27 win over the<br />
Highlanders.<br />
“I’m fully expecting the Crusaders<br />
to give Digby a crack at<br />

<strong>The</strong> Crusaders see Ioane and<br />
All Black Seta Tamanivalu as<br />
the twin weapons on the wing<br />
to replace the loss of 125kg<br />
juggernaut Nemani Nadolo this<br />
season.<br />
Tamanivalu is already making<br />
a huge impact with his offloads,<br />
ball-running and those powerful<br />
strides through two defenders<br />
for the match-winning try<br />
against Highlanders.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Reds defence will have<br />
to be far better organised when<br />
marking roaming wingers<br />
coming into the line, because<br />
Force flyer Chance Peni carved<br />
them up for his early try last<br />
week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Reds may ponder a start<br />
on the wing for young gun Isaia<br />

career is under way after a 15min<br />
cameo in Perth.<br />

Slipper off against the Force, but<br />
the nine-day gap between games<br />
is a blessing and the skipper<br />
looks certain to be fit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders’ powerful<br />
scrum, led by All Blacks rock<br />
Owen Franks, steamrolled the<br />
Highlanders, so the Reds have<br />
to front up big time at their<br />
strength.<br />
