The Star's Nick Tolerton talks to All Blacks hopeful Robbie Fruean about his international ambitions and pre-season preparations with the Crusaders.
"Robbie Fruean's All Black hopes were dashed the past two years, but the Crusaders centre is doing extra yards to make it third time lucky.
"The 23-year-old says winning a black jersey is his big goal this year - and he knows the way to earn it is a steady record with the Crusaders.
"A taste of international rugby when he played for the Henry and Hansen-coached Barbarians against the Wallabies at Twickenham in November has made him hungrier."
