Injury concern for Nadolo

Editor

Fiji are sweating over the fitness of star player Nemani Nadolo after the powerful wing suffered an injury against the Maori All Blacks in Suva.

The goal-kicking Crusader, who can also play in the centres, was forced to leave the field on Saturday after scoring a try in the left corner on half-time.

Fiji lost the match 27-26 at ANZ National Stadium, letting slip a 26-10 lead at the break as the loss of Nadolo to a rib problem clearly hurt their attacking options.

He tweeted after the game: "Disappointing bout the game going down to a tough maori side.. But more disappointing bout this injury. Fingers cross it's not bad."
