Rokoduguni to start for England against the All Blacks
Fiji born and Bath wing Semesa Rokoduguni

Fiji born and Bath wing Semesa Rokoduguni will win his first cap for England in the 14 shirt when they take on the All Blacks after being named in the starting line-up.

The 27-year-old British Army lance corporal has been given a chance to build on some superb Premiership form for Bath, which has seen him score six tries.

Speaking to England Rugby Union, Rokoduguni said he still cannot believe that he will be playing rugby at this level.

Rokoduguni said his family and the British Army have also been supporting him.

England head coach Stuart Lancaster said wing is an extremely competitive position but Rokoduguni has pushed himself forward with his form this season and it's great to be able to give him this opportunity.

 

The All Blacks will play England at 3.30am this Sunday.

In other test matches this Sunday, Vodafone Flying Fijians will play France at 5.45am, Italy face Samoa at 2am, Wales host Australia at 3.30am while Ireland meet South Africa at 6.30am.
