Aside from his bruising defence, Uru has developed a habit for the enigmatic – often providing offloads and late passes out the back for his strike weapons – while becoming an impressive supporting man in broken play. His form – and his ability to cover lock – has him in a strong position to take on the British and Irish Lions this year, after Kiss’ encouragement to back his instincts inspired his career-best exploits. “It was a dream to don that gold jersey, and the dream came true. It just boosted me to keep on striving for that gold jersey, and not to just leave it there,” Uru said ahead of his return to Fiji to take on the Drua on Saturday. “We haven’t had any meeting announcing that Les would be announced as the Wallabies’ coach … [but] one of his major things is to back yourself, use your skills, and everything will open up.”
