New Blues recruit Benji Marshall adamant he can represent the All Blacks at 2015 World Cup Rugby Union convert Benji Marshall remains steadfast in his desire to represent the All Blacks, aiming for a spot at the 2015 World Cup. Benji Marshall is confident he can break into the all-conquering All Blacks side.. BENJI Marshall is adamant he can defy the critics and represent the all-conquering All Blacks. The former Wests Tigers playmaker will make his Super Rugby debut for the Blues against the Highlanders in Dunedin on February 22. Coach John Kirwan has hinted strongly he will play the rugby league convert in the key position of five-eighth despite his lack of experience in the 15-man code. Pundits on both sides of the Tasman have questioned whether he will succeed at rugby's elite level, but Marshall believes he has the game to represent New Zealand in both codes. Benji Marshall is adamant he can represent the All Blacks at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. "That's the ultimate goal, to represent the All Blacks," Marshall told Fairfax New Zealand. But I'm a realist and I know it will be a lot of hard work to get there. When the side doesn't lose a game it's pretty hard to get into. If I can have some success with the Blues first that could lead to a good chance of getting there. Fingers crossed I can eventually make it but it's going to take time. Marshall was under no illusions as to the enormity of the challenge confronting him. The 28-year-old scored 76 tries in 201 games for the Wests Tigers. He also played 25 Tests for the Kiwis. Aukland Blues rugby recruit Benji Marshall stopped by the Fast 5s netball to cheer on his native New Zealand. But rugby presents another challenge entirely. Marshall's defence and the structure of his attacking play are set to be closely scrutinised throughout his debut Super Rugby season. "It's a big challenge," he said. It's obviously one that has been highly publicised so there will be a lot of eyes watching the start. I'm looking forward to getting out there and doing my best to make the Blues successful. I grew up playing a few positions - I played first-five, fullback and a little bit of halfback. (I will do) whatever is best for the team. It doesn't bother me. Kirwan said Marshall's likely halves partner, Piri Weepu, has been "peer coaching" the league convert since his arrival in Auckland. "He's really helping Benji," Kirwan said. They know and understand each other. That peer coaching is probably stronger than what we [coaches] can do. The draw for the 2014 Super Rugby season is out - so where and when will Benji Marshall, Kurtley Beale and co kick-off their campaigns? Weepu said Marshall's attacking prowess had caught the attention of his Blues teammates. "His mentality in terms of attack is totally different to how we like to attack," Weepu told APNZ. We like to be more square instead of running across the field - I think he's still trying to get used to that. We all hope he does - he's pretty exciting to watch, some of the stuff he does at training, some of the of the boys look at him and go 'oh, did he just do that?' We've got to do everything possible to help him out, we can't just let him do it all. I know the likes of Francis [Saili], who has been involved with the ABs, and Ma'a [Nonu], who has been there, are able to help him out if he plays at 10. We've got guys like Charles [Piutau] who can help him position-wise if he plays at fullback.
