Willis Halaholo hopes his injury woes are behind him as he targets a return to the Wales squad and reveals he is 'haunted' by missing out on a crack at the All Blacks last year.
The hot-stepping centre, who was raised in Auckland, was a front-runner to play against New Zealand 12 months ago but endured a tough 24 hours that resulted in him being ruled out of the Test. First he learned of his aunt's passing and the following morning returned a positive Covid test.
Those events came in the middle of knee and hamstring injuries that have plagued his international career. But, after returning to full fitness and getting his first start for Cardiff last weekend in the win over the Scarlets, he is now desperate to be in the thick of it when the All Blacks return to Cardiff on November 5.
