Naholo sighting fuels All Black selection speculation

Naholo sighting fuels All Black selection speculation

Rookie wingers Waisake Naholo and Nehe Milner‑Skudder are among the All Blacks who have been sighted at the team's hotel in Wellington this afternoon, providing the biggest indication yet they will make the 31‑man squad for the Rugby World Cup.

The day has arrived for possibly the most eagerly awaited All Blacks team naming in history, with players filtering into Wellington for announcement at Parliament.

Naholo was seen getting off a bus and walking into the All Blacks hotel, confirming an earlier Fairfax Media report which suggested the Highlanders winger will be a shock inclusion in the squad after a remarkable comeback from injury.

The All Blacks 31-man squad will be announced tonight at 6.30.

Meanwhile, the Vodafone Flying Fijians will depart Nadi at 9.30am tomorrow for the United Kingdom.

Fiji will play a warm up match against Canada next week Sunday before taking on England at 7am in the World Cup opening match on the 19th of next month.
