The Classic All Blacks are ready to take on the Fiji 15s team tomorrow and they say it is great to come for a game against Fiji as we celebrate 100 years of rugby in the country.
Speaking from Denarau in the last hour, Classic All Blacks coach, Peter Sloane said his team is ready to rumble.
He has named Joe Rokocoko, Sitiveni Sivivatu and Rupeni Caucau in the starting lineup for tomorrow.
Justin Marshall will be at halfback with Orene Ai’i, Sam Tuitupou, Caucau, Rokocoko, Sivivatu and Gavin Williams making up the remaining backline.
Sloane who was the coach of the winning Auckland Blues side in 2003 said it is great to see Rupeni Caucau back in action at home.
On a lighter note, Sloane said their first attempt of the Maori war dance was like a disco version but they are improving and should be ready tomorrow.
Former All Blacks halfback Justin Marshall will captain the Classic All Blacks which includes Rodney So’oialo, Chris Masoe, Jerry Collins, Adam Thompson, Bradley Mika, Sam Tuitupou, former Samoan fullback Gavin Williams and former England prop Joe Ward.
