(Reuters) - Winger Waisake Naholo's recovery from a broken leg after utilising traditional healing methods could make him available for New Zealand's third game of the World Cup, giving coach Steve Hansen some selection headaches.

Naholo broke his fibula in his test debut in the Rugby Championship against Argentina last month and was initially ruled out of the Sept. 18-Oct. 31 tournament in England.
