Foxsports is reporting the Sika Manu has been rushed into the Kiwi side to replace Frank Pritchard.  I would never begrudge a player representative honours but I'm not happy that this is happening.  To have missed so many weeks with a soft tissue injury and come straight back into a game of this level is asking for a reoccurrence.  Hopefully the Kiwis do the right thing and limit his game time to 40 minutes or less.
Ahhh McGahan; you've done it agahan....

Its just mind boggling allowing him to play,or they are doing it so they can give him a bit of game time before naming him on the bench for Mondays game

Injury update says:
Sika Manu (Hamstring) - Sika has resumed full training and is on track to return to playing this weekend.

So thats probably why Kearney put him straight into the squad.....

Sika is good enough to come straight into the NZ side.

I wonder if the test match wasn't on this weekend whether Sika would be available to play. Seems a bit convenient doesn't it?!

When i went to storm training 3 weeks ago i asked sika straight out when he was coming back and he told me the doctors were not letting play for the next two weeks but he would be back for the roosters game
so he knew when he would be ready around this time
