The return of Rokocoko

Rokocoko: Back on the wing for Auckland

Auckland wing Joe Rokocoko has set his sights on making the All Blacks' end-of-year rugby tour to the Northern Hemisphere.

Rokococko has not played since he broke a wrist in a Super 14 match in April, but was named in Auckland's starting XV for their Air New Zealand Cup match against Waikato in Hamilton on Saturday.

Rokocoko said he expects to struggle while he comes to grips with the pace of the game. However, earning a recall to the All Blacks, for whom he has scored 43 tries in 48 Tests, was one of his aims.

"It's always a goal to be part of that team as well," he told Radio Sport.

"Obviously I pretty much have to play well in this competition and this team, build the confidence and game fitness up and get going."
