INJURED winger Waisake Naholo was named in New Zealand’s squad to defend the Rugby World Cup as the selectors trusted a Fijian folk healer to repair Naholo’s broken leg in time for the tournament’s pool rounds.
Naholo suffered a cracked tibia in his debut test against Argentina on July 16 and was thought to be sidelined for three months, ruling him out of action until the Cup’s late playoff rounds.
But Naholo traveled to his native Fiji to receive treatment from a traditional healer and the All Blacks’ say medical tests show he has made a recovery and is now likely to be available at least for the All Blacks’ third pool match against Georgia on October 3.
Read on for all the confirmed squads for the RWC, which kicks off on September 19 (AEST).
