Luke McAlister is crossing his fingers that his injury respite during his time with New Zealand Maori marks the start of an upturn in his rugby fortunes in the New Zealand Herald.
McAlister, who missed out on All Blacks selection for the home test programme against Ireland and Wales, has played 80 minutes at second five-eighth in both the Maori team's matches so far.
"The body's fine," he said. "I'm just stoked to be able to get a couple of 80 minutes under the belt.
"It's been a frustrating year. It's good to be able to put back-to-back games together and hopefully this is the last of my bad luck."
