Kalyn Ponga trains with New Zealand ahead of World Cup semi-final

Kalyn Ponga is working towards a possible return for New Zealand in the Rugby League World Cup, recovering from a broken arm. After sustaining the injury in the opening match against Australia, Ponga trained lightly with teammates but did not participate in contact drills. Despite the initial prognosis suggesting he could miss the tournament, both coach Stacey Jones and fellow player Keano Kini express optimism about his potential selection for the semi-finals if New Zealand advances. Ponga's injury originally required surgery, and recovery timelines for similar injuries can range from weeks to months.
