Stefano Utoikamanu has defended his Origin II performance and says he’s ready to stick to his strengths after retaining his Blues spot for Game III.

The Melbourne prop missed his flight to Sydney for Origin camp on Monday morning but the Blues have since made alternative travel plans that will ensure he is at their Blue Mountains camp this week.

Utoikamanu divided opinion as he held his position, with calls for in-form South Sydney enforcer Keaon Koloamatangi to be included with the series on the line at Accor Stadium on July 9.

"I'm going to stick to my strengths - I know I'm a strong ball carrier, and in defence just make my tackles - making sure I win my tackles is probably the main thing, and that's what I'm looking to do," Utoikamanu told AAP

When Sam Short's body failed him at the Olympics, so did his mind.

The Australian swimmer, cruelled by injury and illness, felt like a failure at last year's Paris Games.

Short was a gold medal favourite in the 400m freestyle but finished fourth, missing the podium by 0.14 seconds - a finger nail, as he puts it.

Although Short was able to overcome his physical injuries, healing his mind was another matter.
