"I later applied traditional leaves which were removed after four days and as we took the leaves off, I noticed the injury was gone. "When I first touched his leg he was in pain but after four days he hardly felt any pain."
While that may sound implausible, Naholo was unsurprised that his uncle's treatment worked for him and now he's in with a chance of lining out for the All Blacks in next month's World Cup.

"The movement of my leg is much stronger and after the first treatment, I am walking quite well compared to how I was when I got here."So there you have it. Put us down for four boxes of traditional Fijian medicine please. H/t to FijiTimes
