    Two-time NRL premiership winner Joey Manu has made a promising start to his rugby career in Japan


    The Kiwi star scored a try on debut but was denied a winning start for Verblitz in Tokyo...stymied by an injury-time drop goal by ex-Wallabies first-five Bernard Foley for Funabashi Tokyo-Bay that snatched a dramatic 30-27 win.
