And Mikkelson finally gets to play in his 100th international tournament.
Would be good if he got the chance to add to his try tally too. his time off has some players creeping up on the alltime list

Strongest looking team we have fielded this year. Would like to have seen Cody Vai in there again though.
The NZ U20 camps must be starting soon, so I am surprised Che Clark is going to Toulouse.

@Bovidae I'm not surprised. If a player would only play the World Series (10 tournaments per year), it would take 10 years. Obviously, there are the RWC Sevens, Commonwealth Games Sevens and the Olympics, but that would only reduce it to 9 years and a bit, if they don't get injured. Most players don't last that long.

So Mikkelson made his debut at the George 7's in 2007
I was curious who he played with in that tournament. I assume he got added later because he wasn't in the initial squad for that tournament:
Tomasi Cama (Manawatu), Edwin Cocker (Auckland), Israel Dagg (Hawke's Bay), DJ Forbes (Auckland), Nigel Hunt (Wellington), Tafai Ioasa (Hawke's Bay, captain), James Kamana (Waikato), Solomon King (Bay of Plenty), Zar Lawrence (North Harbour), Rene Ranger (Northland), Lote Raikabula (Hawke's Bay), Victor Vito (Wellington), Steven Yates (Canterbury)
Kamana, Dagg and Vito were on debut
