Amasio Raoma (Auckland), Malili Muliaina (Auckland), Craig de Goldi(Bay of Plenty ),Justin Wilson (Bay of Plenty), Dallas Seymour (Canterbury), Caleb Ralph (Canterbury), Eric Rush, captain, (North Harbour), Craig Newby(North Harbour), Karl Te Nana (North Harbour), Tony Monaghan (Northland), Jared Going (Northland), Christian Cullen (Wellington), Jonah Lomu(Wellington ), Shannon Pak (Wellington), Roger Randle (Waikato).

After 4 rounds New Zealand shares the lead with Fiji, with both on 10
championship points.
