 NZ's Pritchard shines at Invitational - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News
New Zealand backrower Frank Pritchard looks set for a quick return to the Test line-up following a standout performance in the Kiwi Invitational's 48-18 rugby league win over Australia Invitational at Telstra Dome on Saturday night.
Australian Test squad members Kaufusi, Hornby and winger Jarryd Hayne all took part in the contest in a bid to get some match fitness, the Storm prop impressing with several deft offloads, one of which supplied young Brisbane colt Joel Moon with an easy run to the tryline.
It was all the Kiwis after that, however, with the visitors running in five tries in the final 20 minutes, Bulldogs utility Ben Roberts completing his hat-trick with a stunning long-range try that started deep in the Kiwis half.

 Half measures fail the test - League - Sport - smh.com.au
Australia won their first two Tri-Nations games against New Zealand with Thurston at halfback and he was awarded man of the match in game one.
He's clearly the best halfback in Australia and should be left there for at least the next three years to develop his combination with the great Darren Lockyer.
Maybe if they were on tour in England and playing Blackpool in a midweek game you could justify giving Hornby a hit-out.
