The finish line still isn’t in sight for the remarkable Radike Samo.

At 36 years young, the wild-haired Fijian has again found a new lease on life with the Wallabies by producing the bone-jarring tackles and storming runs for which he’s renowned.

And he’s determined to continue his “love” for the game for as long as possible.

Samo hasn’t got his second wind; it’s more like his fourth.

He was the comeback story of world rugby last year, when he returned to the Test arena seven years after going overseas, and went on to score the IRB-voted best try of the year award for a 56m solo effort against the All Blacks in Brisbane.

Samo has had to do it all again in 2012 as he again appeared washed up during the Super Rugby season when consistently overlooked by Queensland coach Ewen McKenzie.

Plagued by injuries, Samo admitted he couldn’t reproduce his best for the Reds in 2012. But now his body is right, he’s relishing the chance to bolster the injury-hit Wallabies.

He immediately showed in his return against South Africa in Perth that age hasn’t wearied him – pulling off an early fearsome tackle on Springboks winger Francois Hougaard.

The 197cm, 119kg No.8 denied doubting his career could be over when struggling to make the Reds side just three months ago.

“Nah mate, it made me work harder,” he said ahead of his 22nd Test this weekend against Argentina.

“I will never give up. I will always (keep trying). I love rugby so much.”

Samo is contracted for another year with Queensland but he doesn’t see 2013 as his swansong at 37.

In fact he won’t put a date on likely retirement.

“I’ve got to wake up the next day and see how it feels,” he said. “I don’t want to put any dates on it. I still like playing footy so we’ll see.

“The body’s good now, it’s better, so hopefully I can keep going.”
