Roger Tuivasa-Sheck could make his rugby union revival earlier than expected, turning out for Auckland in this year's Mitre 10 Cup, before joining the Blues in 2022.

Tuivasa-Sheck will complete this year's NRL season, but he's expected to skip the rugby league World Cup in October in England, to fasttrack his return to the 15-man code.

The NRL grand final's scheduled for October 3rd, while the Mitre 10 Cup window is set for September 11 until November 27 -- giving Tuivasa-Sheck plenty of time to begin his rugby union comeback with Auckland. 

NZ Herald writer Liam Napier joined Elliott Smith to discuss.
