Returning All Blacks wing Sitiveni Sivivatu is fit and raring to go.
Sivivatu will kick off his attempt to regain a place in the All Blacks line up when Waikato face what might be a do or die assignment against Canterbury in Hamilton tonight.
The sub plot will be a glimpse of whether Sivivatu, at his best a devastating test weapon, is likely to find his top gears in time to make any impact in this year's remaining tests against Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
As a 43 test veteran, Sivivatu is on the comeback trail after surgery nearly six months ago to stabilize his left shoulder.
The 28 year old will also want to prove, at least to himself, that shoulder problems are a thing of the past.
Sivivatu is the only member of next month's All Black touring party released to play in the final round of the ITM Cup, meaning Waikato and Canterbury are depleted.
