Carter warns England over Fiji's Nemani Nadolo

Dan Carter has warned England to beware of "freak" Nemani Nadolo when Fiji visit Twickenham for Friday's World Cup opener.

The New Zealand fly-half has spent the past two seasons playing alongside Nadolo at the Crusaders, witnessing first hand the havoc caused by the 20-stone, 6 ft 5in giant who was the top try-scorer in the Super 15 in 2014.

"Nadolo is bit of a freak. He's a huge man, but is also very skilful. He's a quality player and one to watch," Carter told Press Association Sport.

"He's a proud Fijian and will be a real threat at this World Cup, not just against England, but against all the teams who Fiji face.

"Nadolo has this funny Australian accent which you wouldn't really expect from a Fijian.

"He's an absolute top bloke, very genuine and down to earth. He's typical Fijian - a relaxed character who enjoys himself and doesn't take life too seriously.

"Fiji could potentially cause an upset because they're a strong side."
