		Sitiveni Sivivatu scored three first-half tries as the Waikato Chiefs beat Otago 31-8 in a Super 12 rugby match, extinguishing the Highlanders' playoff hopes.
		Sivivatu lived up to his billing as an All Black in waiting, laying open the Highlanders defence with three pieces of individual brilliance as Waikato sprinted to a 31-3 halftime lead.
		Sivivatu's first came when they moved the ball from touchline to touchline, first to the right, then to the left where a long pass from centre David Hill put the Fijian-born winger outside his marker.

		Sivivatu arrived in South Africa carrying a shoulder injury picked up in training before the team left New Zealand, though Paterson said the Fijian-born player had regained a full range of motion.

	New Zealand All Blacks rugby team official website, New Zealand Rugby Football Union
		In September last year, Sitiveni Sivivatu was playing second division rugby at Arena Manawatu for Counties-Manukau against Manawatu.
		Sivivatu has shown he can make the transition from the lower echelons of the NPC, where he was second division player of the year in 2002, to Super 12 level.
		Indications are Sivivatu, named on one wing for the Possibles side in the trial at Eden Park, is more in the All Blacks fold to get a taste of things to come in future years.

		Sivivatu, a star for the Waikato Chiefs in the Super 12, dominated the try scoring but there were plenty of opportunities left for others with winger Doug Howlett and skipper Tana Umaga each picking up a pair.

		The Fiji union said the IRB decided last week that 21-year-old Sivivatu was not yet eligible to play for New Zealand, because the time he spent on scholarship at secondary school in New Zealand could not count towards the three-year residency requirement.

		The IRB panel, headed by South African Silas Nkanunu, said the time Sivivatu spent on scholarship in New Zealand should not count because he was not financially independent.
