All Blacks winger Waisake Naholo is relishing his chance to cement his starting spot in the New Zealand team, named on the right wing in the third Bledisloe Cup Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Taranaki winger replaces Nehe Milner-Skudder on the right wing after he injured his shoulder against the Springboks in Cape Town two weeks ago.
"It's good to be back this week and getting the starting spot," said Naholo.
The 26-year-old was in hot form for his province scoring two tries in Taranaki's 46-25 win over Manawatu last Wednesday.
"I got to play for Taranaki last week to defend the Ranfurly Shield and that was a good game," he said.
"I'm excited about this week as well.
"This week I want to go out there and do my job, do it well for the boys and the team."
