Lomu to start for Blues at Calvisano

JONAH LOMU has been named in the Cardiff Blues starting lineup for Saturday’s Heineken European Cup clash against Calvisano.

The 30-year-old former New Zealand star signed for Cardiff earlier this season on a seven-month contract in an attempt to resurrect his career following illness and injury.

It had been thought he would feature on the replacements’ bench this weekend and then make a full Blues debut when Calvisano visit the Arms Park next Saturday.
