Vatuvei doubtful for World Cup semi-final

6:03 am on 20 November 2013

The possibility of Manu Vatuvei playing in this weekend's Rugby League World Cup semi-final appear slim.

The winger is still struggling with a groin injury suffered in the quarter-final win over Scotland and missed training today.

His place on the left wing today was taken by Jason Nightingale, who is the obvious replacement for Sunday morning's match against England at Wembley.

Australia and Fiji meet in the other semi-final.
