Taqele Naiyaravoro channels Jonah Lomu in tackle-busting run to try line

Ah taqele and koro. If only !!!

Koro was great again today for the Storm. Scored another try.

Unfortunately he let two in by coming off his wing and missed the tackle anyway.

In fact missed a half a dozen tackles and dropped 2 passes ( one nearly led to try).

Think I'll stick with Richards and Kevy.

He just had an off day. Happen's sometimes Russell. As we all know. He' seems to have improved at the Storm. Always liked him and disappointed we let him go.

To be fair, you or I could probably make the switch to union next week, score a try or two and make the bench for the wallabies for the upcoming world cup..

Glasgow Warriors have offered him 1.5 mil
according to SMH.com

"Taqele will be coming to Glasgow next season regardless of any international commitments," the club Tweeted.

It is understood the Waratahs want to re-sign the player they plucked from the reserve grades of the NRL early last year, but will have no hope of matching the rumoured $1.5 million package on the table at the Warriors.

A flexible contract built around a stint in Japan, plus Test match incentives, could be the Super Rugby champions' only hope of retaining his services.

But with a Test call-up no certainty - Naiyaravoro faces stiff competition from more experienced incumbents Rob Horne, Henry Speight, Nick Cummins, Joe Tomane and Adam Ashley-Cooper - the high-impact winger could be destined for a move north.

He just made the Wallabies squad

**Wallabies coach Michael Cheika names squad for The Rugby Championship**
>
THE World Cup agony of prop ​Benn Robinson looks set for another instalment after the 72-Test prop was omitted from the Wallabies’ 40-man squad for the Rugby Championship.
>
Robinson and fellow Wallabies front-row stalwart Ben Alexander - the two most capped props in Australian Test history - were the biggest casualties in a squad that also carries huge ramifications for World Cup selections.
>
With the final 31-man World Cup squad to be picked in late August, selection for the Rugby Championship is almost a prerequisite to make the tournament in September and October in the UK.
>
James O’Connor, Nick Cummins, Matt Hodgson and Luke Jones were also absent from a squad that saw coach Michael Cheika turn away drastically from many of the regular faces in Wallaby gold in recent seasons.
>
**Four uncapped newcomers - Rory Arnold, Samu Kerevi, Taqele Naiyavaroro and Rebels prop Toby Smith - led the charge.**
>
There are old faces included as well, with Dean Mumm recalled after just a few weeks back in Australia and Greg Holmes picked after playing his last Test in 2007.
>
As expected, Drew Mitchell and Matt Giteau were also included after returning from France.
>
The front row shake up by Cheika - with Smith, Scott Sio, Tetera Faulkner, Sekope Kepu and Holmes named - could potentially see Robinson miss out on his third World Cup.
>
Cut late in the selection mix for the 2007 World Cup, Robinson then injured a knee at training in the weeks leading up to the 2011 tournament.
>
Alexander, who has also played 72 Tests, is also in major doubt for the World Cup.
