Manaaki Selby-RickitSouthland's run of Mitre 10 Cup losses has increased, but the bright side is lock Manaaki Selby-Rickit looks to be Super Rugby-bound. He often got his arm free in the tackle, as Southland rugby followers have become accustomed to, and popped up a lot at first receiver. While Selby-Rickit has obvious skills, it’s his bulk, or lack of it, which he was aware he needed to address if he was to make the transition into a Super Rugby player. Selby-Rickit said Super Rugby was very much in his sights. On a personal note the 2018 Mitre 10 Cup has been a good one for Selby-Rickit, but as a team, Southland has struggled.
