		Muliaina's test debut for the All Blacks was against England on June 14 2003 at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.

		Chiefs and All Blacks fullback Mils Muliaina suffered an ankle injury in his side's 16-21 loss to the Cats on the weekend but it is not considered serious enough to keep him out of Friday's duel with the Western Force.
		Muliaina's name has been linked to the vacant All Blacks centre position since Hurricanes' centre Conrad Smith broke his leg on Saturday night.
		However, Foster said there was no talk in his camp about switching Muliaina from fullback to the midfield even though it is well known that he is an accomplished centre.

	Hard grind for Mils - 24 Nov 2006 - NZ Herald: New Zealand and International Sport News including Cricket World Cup ...
		Muliaina will have missed just three tests in the past three years, which underlines his versatile and consistent excellence, the selectors' dependence on his skills and the lack of public clarity about the best replacement for Tana Umaga at centre.
		The 26-year-old Muliaina began his test career at fullback in 2003 because Leon MacDonald was suffering from a head knock, and showed such consistent form he became the first choice fullback at the World Cup.
		Instead of wondering how best to fit Muliaina in around the other contenders, the time must be approaching when the selectors have to decide where first to pick Muliaina.

		Mils Muliaina will be at No.13 for the All Blacks'; opening match of the expanded Tri-Nations series - the clash with Australia at Jade Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday, a Test that doubles up as a Bledisloe Cup encounter.
		The selection of Muliaina has been the main topic of discussion in New Zealand since his name cropped up in the media at the weekend - speculation that prompted Wallaby coach John Connolly to claim that he knew what the AB side was going to be because he had "spies" inside the New Zealand camp.
		The selection of Muliaina at No.13 means one of two things - either none of the three outside centres that Henry trialled in June impressed him enough or he had planned to play Muliaina there all along.

		Muliaina, who played at fullback for the Chiefs selection, was injured late in the first half.
		He will visit a specialist on Wednesday to determine whether the injury requires surgery, but he will be out for at least four weeks, possibly as many as eight, meaning he would miss the rest of the league section of the Super 14.
