Kiwis refuse to give up on Umaga
13 April 2012
New Zealand haven't given up hope that injured centre Tana Umaga will be back to play some part in the World Cup.
Umaga suffered a serious knee injury when he collided with team-mate Carlos Spencer during the All Blacks' 70-7 victory over Italy on Saturday.
It is feared he has damaged his posterior cruciate ligament and the team management are awaiting the results of scans taken on Sunday.
"He's still with the team, so that should tell you something," All Blacks' spokesman Matt McIlraith said.
