Hika Elliot - The Comeback
- 1978
Hika Elliot has made a miraculous come back from a career threatening injury and many consider him unlucky not to have been selected in the All Black 31 to represent New Zealand at this years Rugby World Cup.
A severe neck injury looked set to end his career but his comeback was complete when making the 2015 Super Rugby Squad for the Chiefs, he wasted no time in making an impact again and was selected for the All Black Squad leading into the Rugby Championship. Sadly he missed out on final selection but that hasn't stopped him from returning to the ITM Cup where he will face his old side Counties Manukau when he comes off the bench for Taranaki
