KEY POINTS:
All Blacks winger Joe Rokocoko will make his return from injury for Auckland in their Air NZ Cup rugby match against Waikato at Hamilton on Saturday.
Rokocoko has been recuperating since undergoing surgery on an injured wrist in April.
It will be a welcome return to the left wing as David Smith has been ruled out of Saturday's match with a rib injury.
Rokocoko will be one of just three new faces in the starting lineup this week, with Simon Munro debuting on the right wing and Nick White taking over the loosehead prop role.
Auckland
Lachie Munro, Simon Munro, Ben Atiga (captain), Benson Stanley, Joe Rokocoko, Isaia Toeava, Taniela Moa, Peter Saili, Daniel Braid, Kurtis Haiu, Jay Williams, Chris Lowrey, John Afoa, Keven Mealamu, Nick White.
