All Blacks centre Conrad Smith has backed potential new cap Nehe Milner‑Skudder to be a success for New Zealand.
Milner‑Skudder is in contention to start in this weekend's Rugby Championship decider in Sydney against Australia.
The Hurricanes flyer enjoyed a breakout season in Super Rugby, scoring a number of memorable tries.
Now he is waiting for his chance to have a crack at the next level and Smith, Milner‑Skudder's captain at the Hurricanes, believes he has the ability to make an impression in Test rugby.
The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10.05am this Saturday.
