Former All Blacks wing, Joe Rokococko cannot wait to get on the field tomorrow and play in front of the Fiji crowd.

The 30 year old from Yavu-sania in Nadi said he tried so hard to make the trip because he owes it to the fans.


Named the Rocket Man by rugby commentators, Rokocoko made his first appearance for the All Blacks in 2003 against England. 

He had a high strike rate for the All Blacks, scoring 25 tries in his first 20 tests, and breaking the All Blacks single season record for test tries previously shared by Jonah Lomu and Christian Cullen.

Rokocoko's 17 test tries scored in 2003 equals the world record held by Daisuke Ohata of Japan. 

Rokocoko added that it is great to team up with Sitiveni Sivivatu and Rupeni Caucau in one team.


Former All Blacks halfback Justin Marshall will captain the side which includes Rodney So=oialo, Chris Masoe, Jerry Colins, Adam Thompson, Bradley Mika, Sam Tuitupou , former Samoan fullback Gavin Williams and former England prop Joe Ward.

Meanwhile, tickets for the match are selling fast and only around 600 grandstand tickets are now left.

 
The Flying Fijians will host the Classic All Blacks at 6pm tomorrow at the ANZ stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station VITI FM.
