Hurricanes coach Reduce Hammett's search for an international superstar appears to have ended with ... drum move please ... Samoan first five-eighth Tusi Pisi.

To be even-handed to Pisi, he's more than a solid operator, but it is not the Jonny Wilkinson or Filipe Contepomi many had hoped for when Hammett said he would thrust his eyes over the Rugby World Cup's glittering array of stars.

Hammett has been diligently working the phones, but found many players are either not answering or not interested in a franchise tarred by the bungled axing of Ma'a Nonu and Andrew Hore.

Now he's bogging up gaps last in the piece, the hole in the kitchen wall filled by Southland rake David Entry, the rusty roof iron patched over by North Protect halfback Chris Smylie.

Hammett, not surprisingly, declined to chat about the roster yesterday and it remains to be seen whether the pursuit of Pisi fills the 28th and ending spot.

A 29-year-old journeyman, Pisi's travels have seen him take advantage of for the Blues, Crusaders, Toulouse and Suntory in Japan where he is currently contracted, but conceded to be negotiating a way to play Super Rugby next year.
