Many coaches are still having selection headaches before the new Super Rugby season kicks off next week but new players like Manasa Mataele are looking forward to a whole new experience.
Mataele who went to Dudley High and Marist Brothers High School, looks strong to make his debut for the Super Rugby seven time champions, Crusaders.
Mataele played well last week at the Brisbane Global Tens and will be playing alongside his uncle Setareki Tamanivalu and Jone Macilai.
The Crusaders will take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm next Saturday.
