Crusaders fullback Chay Fihaki who helped mastermind the 61-3 drubbing of the Fijian Drua in Christchurch, New Zealand last year, hopes his Fijian blood will help again on tomorrow.

Fihaki, who has maternal links to Nakasaleka in Kadavu, is the nephew of Flying Fijians lock Albert Tuisue and he knows he has a target on his head when playing in Fiji.

The 23-year-old Auckland born, former Blues squad member whose Tongan father Samuela was also born in Nadi says he has met some of his family during the trip and has been told to expect a physical match.
