I hope that, this year, the All Blacks will win the World Cup, however I have my concerns that Graham Henry picks too many of his own personal favourites. Jerome Kaino and Mills Muliana to name but two. Here is the team I would pick.
15 Israel Dagg
14 Hosea Gear
13 Conrad Smith
12 Benson Stanley
11 Corey Jane
10 Daniel Carter
9 Andy Eillis
8 Keiran Read
7 Richie McCaw
6 Adam Thompson
5 Brad Thorn
4 Chris Jack
3 Ben Franks
2 Kevin Mealamu
1 Tony Woodock
On the Bench
16 Corey Flynn
17 Owen Franks
18 Bryn Evans
19 Adam Whitelock
20 Brendon Leonard
21 Colin Slade
22 Sonny Bill Williams
This team probably would win the World Cup. However, it would make the Auckland media wild because there is hardly anyone from the Chiefs or the Blues in this team. Only four in total. Graham Henry likes Aucklanders like Rococoko, Toeava, Muliaina, Kaino, Ali Williams and Boric. People like that who are not all that good and run hot and cold.
