    Storm snatch sons of guns from under NZRU noses

    THE promising sons of former Kiwis captain Hugh McGahan and ex-All Blacks skipper Tana Umaga have turned their backs on the New Zealand Rugby Union to sign with Melbourne Storm.

    In a huge show of confidence in the Storm and the NRL, Matt McGahan and Cade Umaga have chosen to play league rather than pursue representative careers in union.

    The two are junior stars in the rival code, with McGahan, a five-eighth, named man of the match in the New Zealand rugby union schoolboys' 30-21 defeat of their Australian rivals in Dunedin on October 6, and Umaga being named in the national under-17 merit team.
