Rokocoko hopes for form boost

The Auckland winger will win his 56th cap after he was included in the starting line-up named by Graham Henry — one of two changes made by the coach, who has also picked Brendon Leonard.

It was a welcome selection for the 26-year-old, after a tough spell of form which has seen him touch down just twice since the 2007 World Cup, the second of which came against Italy just under four weeks ago.
