Ma’a Nonu and Mils Muliaina, the new Captain, earn their spots on incumbency and form.

The dreadlocked centres combination with Isaia Toeava could be mouth watering, with both men multiple dimensional ball carriers and Toeava having a wonderful year at the Blues.

It will be a challenge, but the silver lining is that Henry continues to expose the second tier to international rugby, boding well for the future and 2011.
