Rokocoko sets sights on All Blacks recall

28/08/2008 4:32:00 PM.  | with NZPA
Exciting New Zealand winger Joe Rokocoko has set his sights on making the All Blacks' end of year rugby tour to Europe.

Rokocoko has not played since he broke a wrist in a Super 14 match in April, but was named today in Auckland's starting 15 for their Air NZ 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," the winger told NZ 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."
