Graham Henry admits the All Blacks selectors are still undecided about the fullback berth for the Rugby World Cup and they want to explore Israel Dagg's game under more challenging circumstances.
That's why Dagg is getting a start ahead of Mils Muliana against Tonga in Friday night's tournament opener at Eden Park with the rugby universe watching.
Asked if Dagg was now his No 1 fullback, Henry said that Mils and Israel are competing for that opportunity and Israel gets this opportunity.
The All Blacks and Tonga match kicks off at 8.30pm this Friday and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM with the new voice of rugby, Malakai Veisamasama and 2007 World Cup coach, Ilivasi Tabua.
