Assistant Coach Steve McNamara talks through the Squad named for the 2015 Auckland Nines.

In a nine-question, Nines orientated chat with Roosters TV McNamara answers questions on how he and Head Coach Trent Robinson came to pick the Squad named, what's required in a Nines player, some of the superstars named in the Squad like Mitchell Pearce, James Maloney and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
