All Blacks debutant Waisake Naholo is still finding his feet in the All Black environment.
The 24‑year‑old will start on the wing against Argentina in Christchurch tonight, with the Fijian flyer today admitting that it has been an exciting but daunting experience stepping into the All Blacks camp for the first time and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dan Carter and Sonny Bill Williams.
Naholo says that it is still scary walking around past his All Blacks team mates.
He adds that his roommate Conrad Smith is also amongst the best in the business, and has been handing him some handy tips.
The Highlanders wing says his parents are so proud of his achievements.
Tonight the All Blacks starting backline is TJ Perenara, Dan Carter, Waisake Naholo, Ma’a Nonu, Sonny Bill Williams, Charles Piutau and Israel Dagg. Andy Ellis, Ryan Crotty and Colin Slade are on the reserve bench.
The All Blacks will host Argentina at 7.35 tonight in Christchurch.
Meanwhile the Wallabies will take on the Springboks at 10.05pm tomorrow.
