Tongan Thir

'Tongan Thor' ready for Crusaders war

There’s no easing into Super Rugby, whether it is a regular season game or a trial, because Joe Moody is the formidable Crusaders prop lining up as the first big test for the “Tongan Thor’’.

Both props will come off the bench in the Ballymore trial (7.30pm) so how often they tango is a question mark but there will be some serious second-half scrummaging.
