Nadolo leaving Crusaders for France

Update: 12:05PM Blockbusting Crusaders wing Nemani Nadolo is set to exit Super Rugby for the French club scene after next year’s championship.

Reports in France suggest the giant Fijian and Brumbies wing Joe Tomane will join Montpellier next season.

Montpellier are coached by former Springboks World Cup-winner Jake White.

He knows all about Tomane from his time with the Brumbies and has huge respect for Nadolo, who made such a big impression with the Crusaders and carried that form into this year’s World Cup with Fiji.

Nadolo has scored 22 tries in 27 appearances for the Crusaders since joining them from the Japanese club scene in 2014.

He has experience in France playing for Bourgoin in the 2010-11 season.
