Former Wallaby Samu Kerevi and multi-code international Israel Folau, are enduring a difficult start to their new Japan Rugby League One season.

Matters grew worse on Saturday when their Urayasu D-Rocks side was outclassed 62-19 by Shizuoka Blue Revs.

Having managed just eight appearances across the past two years due to injury, Folau has already equalled the two games he played last year and has made some major run metres but the 35-year-old’s presence has failed to lift the newly-promoted side.

D-Rocks have shipped 93 points on the first two weekends of the competition.

While Folau and Kerevi have suffered an 0-2 start to the fourth edition of Japan Rugby League One, so too has Verblitz NRL recruit Joseph Manu.

The former Roosters centre, who was a try-scorer on debut last week, came from the bench on Saturday as the Steve Hansen-coached outfit lost 21-17 to Mie Heat.
