MICHAEL Fatialofa has provided the rugby world with a timely boost in a video in which he is walking again. 

The Warriors ace, hospitalised with spinal injuries sustained in a match at Saracens in January, has defied medical expectations by taking steps on his own. 

The Instagram video, shared by Tongan prop Loni Uhila who is also a heavyweight boxer, has delivered inspiration for many while the coronavirus crisis halts most sporting action, including all Gallagher Premiership fixtures.
