Really? I thought Malakai was supposed to be out until after the New Year.

I think "in training" doesn't mean actual training. Most likely in the Rehab Class.

Rehab almost certainly but had no visible strapping or supports. He could be a quick healer.

He is doing a Movember walking challenge of 60km this month by walking every day with a comp for one of his jerseys.

Didn't he also have shoulder surgery?

Yep getting rid of other niggles at the same time.

Is ZZ actually injured or just out of favour?

The ZZ situation perplexes me. I assume if he'd been fit but out of favour he'd have been in the Georgian squad so I assume he's injured. Whichever he's probably slipped to 4th choice LH at the moment which is a precarious position for him.

Yes it does seem strange not in Georgian squad but haven’t seen him mentioned in injury updates.

Wonder how long he’s got on his contract. Perhaps swap him for a second rower.
