Outgoing Chiefs coach Ian Foster is confident Sitiveni Sivivatu can make it back into the All Blacks squad for the World Cup.

Sivivatu’s missed out on the initial All Blacks squad but has been included as injury cover for the first part of the season.

Foster said he wasn’t up to his best during the Chiefs campaign and it’s up to him to get back.

He said Sivivatu has been injury plagued this season and hasn’t been running as freely as he can.

The All Blacks host the Flying Fijians next Friday in Dunedin.
