Rugby: Selection headaches loom for Auckland NPC coach

Auckland coach Nick White has a lot of selection headaches with his Mitre 10 Cup squad. Some of his fringe All Blacks players are released back to the union for extended periods. The squad is brimming with talent, with 22 Super Rugby players, seven All Black players and one Tongan international. There are also potential five Auckland debutants. Some players from the University and Manukau missed the top eight. Other players were unlucky. They are central to their teams' fortunes. It's a mixed bag. White's old Waitemata club has no players in the team. He has just Lolagi Visinia in his squad, and his old Suburbs club only Lolgi Visina.
