Man or machine?

Vaea Fifita is the name that has been on everyone’s lips ever since his stunning display against Argentina in The Rugby Championship last weekend.

The Hurricanes back-row filled the void at six left by veteran Jerome Kaino in some style, with an incredible display of speed and brute power, capped off by one of the tries of the tournament so far.

Shockingly he hasn’t even made the squad for this weekend’s clash with the Springboks. Hansen’s decision to drop him may be a result of what he did to poor Damien McKenzie in training this past week after some incredible footage emerged.*
