Vatuvei lapping up All Stars gig

Giant Warriors winger Manu Vatuvei is feeling a bit intimidated after settling into the NRL All Stars squad.

The composite side, to take on the Indigenous All Stars on the Gold Coast this weekend, features the likes of Darren Lockyer, Benji Marshall, Billy Slater and Cameron Smith.

Vatuvei says there will be a fair bit of pressure on him to perform. He says there are a lot of great players in the team and he is hoping he can prove he can do the job.

Vatuvei says he is keen to soak up all the knowledge his teammates have to offer, and is enjoying sharing a room with one of the biggest stars in league, Israel Folau, who he says, is a very funny man.

The All Stars have moved camp to the Gold Coast after holding their first training session in Western Sydney.
