Former All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo is set to start for Canterbury in the National Provincial Championship when they take on Waikato tomorrow.

Also coming  back, stand-in captain Sam Whitelock.

After a stint in England with London Irish, Naholo is back in New Zealand.

Naholo made his Canterbury debut off the bench when they beat Manawatu 25-22 in their last match before New Zealand went into COVID-19 lockdown.

Meanwhile, Whitelock didn’t travel with the All Blacks to Australia for this year’s Rugby Championship, as he and his partner awaited the birth of their third child.
