Red in mix for return

DUNCAN Paia’aua is set for a recall to the Reds’ backline for the daunting mission to face the Hurricanes’ dynamic style in Wellington on Friday.

A spot is likely to be his, with top-choice centre Chris Feauai-Sautia dealing with a head knock from Saturday’s 63-28 horror show in Tokyo.

With the Reds to fly out on Thursday, Feauai-Sautia is battling time to complete the needed return-to-play protocols.
